"J  The  Minister  or  SupeHntmdmt  shall  say  one  of  the  Sentences  following,  all  standing. 

The  Sentence, 

UR  help  Is  in  the  Name  of  the  Lord ;  Who  made  heaven  and 
earth. 


THE  Lord  is  high  above  all  people :  and  His  Glory  above  the 
heavens, 

GIVE  thanks  unto  the  Lord,  for  He  is  good ;  for  His  mercy 
endureth  for  ever, 


o 


THIS  is  the  day  which  the  Lord  hath  made:  we  will  rejoice  and 
be  glad  in  it.     We  will  come  before  His  presence  with  thanks- 
giving :  and  enter  into  His  courts  with  praise. 

THE  eyes  of  the  Lord  are  over  the  righteous :  and  His  ears  are 
open  unto  their  prayers. 

E  shall  feed  His  flock  like  a  shepherd :  He  shall  gather  the 
lambs  with  His  arm,  and  carry  them  in  His  bosons

ORDER    OF    SERVICE. 

fl  TJien  shall  the  Minister  or  Superintendent  say  g 

The   Versicle. 
O  Lord,  open  Thou  my  lips. 

fl  The  Scliool  shall  answer  : 

And  my  mouth  shall  show  forth  Thy  praise, 

\  Them  sltall  be  sung  a  Hymn,  Cantkle,  or  Chaat. 

The  Hymn, 

f  Then  shall  one  of  the  Psalms  following  be  said  by  the  Minister  or  Superintendent  and  by  the 

School  alternately. 
fl  The  Psalm  shall  always  end,  except  in  the  Passion  Seasony  with  the  Gloria  PatrL 

I.  ^zuim  Wxx.     Psalm  i. 

BLESSED  is  the  man  that  walketh  not  in  the  counsel  of  the 
ungodly,  nor  standeth  in  the  way  of  sinners :  nor  sitteth  in 
the  seat  of  the  scornful. 

2.  But  his  delight  is  in  the  law  of  the  Lord :  and  in  His  law 
doth  he  meditate  day  and  night. 

3.  And  he  shall  be  like  a  tree  planted  by  the  rivers  of  water ; 
that  bringeth  forth  his  fruit  in  his  season ;  his  leaf  also  shall  not 
wither :  and  whatsoever  he  doeth  shall  prosper. 

4.  The  ungodly  are  not  so :  but  are  like  the  chaff  which  the 
wind  driveth  away. 

5.  Therefore  the  ungodly  shall  not  stand  in  the  judgment:  nor 
sinners  in  the  congregation  of  the  righteous. 

6.  For  the  Lord  knoweth  the  way  of  the  righteous:  but  the  way 
of  the  ungodly  shall  perish. 

Glory  be  to  the  Father,  and  to  the  Son,  and  to  the  Holy  Ghost: 
As  it  was  in  the  beginning,  is  now,  and  ever  shall  be,  world  without 
end.     Amen.

LORD  our  Lord,  how  excellent  is  Thy  Name  in  all  the  earth ; 
Who  hast  set  Thy  Glory  above  the  heavens, 

10 


ORDER    OF    SERVICE. 

2.  Out  of  the  mouth  of  babes  and  sucklings  hast  Thou  ordained 
strength  because  of  Thine  enemies :  that  Thou  mightest  still  the 
enemy  and  the  avenger. 

3.  When  I  consider  Thy  heavens,  the  work  of  Thy  fingers :  the 
moon  and  the  stars,  which  Thou  hast  ordained ; 

4.  What  is  man,  that  Thou  art  mindful  of  him?:  and  the  son 
of  man,  that  Thou  visitest  him? 

5.  For  Thou  hast  made  him  a  little  lower  than  the  angels :  and 
hast  crowned  him  with  glory  and  honor. 

6.  Thou  madest  him  to  have  dominion  over  the  works  of  Thy 
hands:  Thou  hast  put  all  things  under  his  feet. 

7.  O  Lord  our  Lord  :  how  excellent  is  Thy  Name  in  all  the  earth ! 
Glory  be  to  the  Father,  etc. 

III.  Cnjeli  (Enarrattf.     Psalm  xix. 

THE  heavens  declare   the  Glory  of  God:    and  the  firmament 
showeth  His  handy-work. 

2.  Day  unto  day  uttereth  speech  :  and  night  unto  night  showeth 
knowledge. 

3.  There  is  no  speech  nor  language :  where  their  voice  is  not 
heard. 

4.  Their  line  is  gone  out  through  all  the  earth :  and  their  words 
to  the  end  of  the  world. 

5.  The  law  of  the  Lord  is  perfect,  converting  the  soul :  the 
testimony  of  the  Lord  is  sure,  making  wise  the  simple. 

6.  The  statutes  of  the  Lord  are  right,  rejoicing  the  heart:  the 
commandment  of  the  Lord  is  pure,  enlightening  the  eyes. 

7.  The  fear  of  the  Lord  is  clean,  enduring  for  ever :  the  judg- 
ments of  the  Lord  are  true  and  righteous  altogether. 

8.  More  to  be  desired  are  they  than  gold,  yea,  than  much  fine 
gold :  sweeter  also  than  honey  and  the  honey-comb. 

9.  Moreover,  by  them  is  Thy  servant  warned :  and  in  keeping 
of  them  there  is  great  reward. 

Glory  be  to  the  Father,  etc.

And  in  Jesus  Christ  his  only  Son,  our  Lord ;  Who  was  conceived 
by  the  Holy  Ghost,  Born  of  the  Virgin  Mary ;  Suffered  under 
Pontius  Pilate,  Was  crucified,  dead,  and  buried  ;  He  descended  into 
hell ;  The  third  day  he  rose  again  from  the  dead  ;  He  ascended  into 
heaven,  And  sitteth  on  the  right  hand  of  God  the  Father  Almighty ; 
From  thence  he  shall  come  to  judge  the  quick  and  the  dead.

Hear  our  prayers  for  the  heathen  ;  take  away  iniquity  from  their 
hearts,  and  turn  them  from  their  idols  unto  the  living  and  true 
God,  and  to  Thine  only  Son ;  and  gather  them  into  Thy  holy 
Church,  to  the  glory  of  Thy  Name ;  through  Jesus  Christ  our 
Lord.     Amen. 

For  a  Meeting  of  Teachers. 

ALMIGHTY  and  merciful  God,  of  Whose  only  gift  it  cometh 
that  Thy  faithful  people  do  unto  Thee  true  and  laudable 
service ;  graciously  behold  Thy  servants  whom  Thou  hast  called 
to  the  office  of  teachers  in  the  Sunday-School,  and  enable  us  to  do 
diligently  the  wTork  which  Thou  hast  given  us  to  do.  Give  us  the 
wisdom  and  knowledge  which  are  needful  to  direct  us  in  the  faith- 
ful and  successful  discharge  of  our  duties,  and  endue  us  with  zeal 
and  devotion,  to  animate,  encourage,  and  sustain  us.     May  the

love  of  Christ  constrain  us  to  do  what  we  may  that  those  entrusted 
to  our  charge  may  be  instructed  in  heavenly  knowledge,  and 
sanctified  by  divine  grace,  and  be  saved  through  Christ's  power. 
Dispose  their  hearts  to  receive  in  meekness  and  love  the  instruc- 
tions given,  and  to  prosecute  with  diligence  and  fidelity  the  duties 
assigned  to  them.  May  they  be  fitted  to  become  useful  in  their 
generation,  and  to  adorn  the  doctrine  of  God  their  Saviour,  by 
denying  ungodliness  and  worldly  lusts,  and  living  righteously, 
soberly,  and  godly.  May  they  be  built  up  in  the  true  faith,  and 
become  living,  working  members  of  the  Church  of  Christ,  and  at 
last  receive  the  commendation  of  faithful  servants  from  the  great 
Shepherd  and  Bishop  of  their  souls.  These  and  all  other  things 
which  Thou  mayest  see  to  be  necessary  and  convenient  for  us,  we 
humbly  beg,  in  the  Name  and  through  the  mediation  of  Jesus 
Christ,  our  only  Saviour  and  Redeemer,  who  liveth  and  reigneth 
with  Thee  and  the  Holy  Ghost,  ever  one  God,  world  without  end. 
Amen. 

For  Teachers. 

ALMIGHTY  God,  the  giver  of  all  good  gifts,  graciously  be- 
hold Thy  servants,  the  Teachers  in  this  school.  Replenish 
us  with  the  truth  of  Thy  doctrine,  and  adorn  us  with  innocency 
of  life,  that  both  by  word  and  example  we  may  faithfully  serve 
Thee.  Fill  us  with  a  due  sense  of  the  weighty  charge  committed 
to  us.  Guard  us  from  the  sins  of  idleness,  irregularity,  and 
neglect.  Save  us  from  weariness  and  discontent.  Give  us  faith 
to  believe  that  in  due  season  we  shall  reap  if  we  faint  not,  and 
admit  us  at  last  to  the  blessedness  of  those  who  turn  many  to 
righteousness;  through  the  merits  of  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord. 
Amen. 

For  the  Acceptance  of  our  Prayers. 

ALMIGHTY  God,  Who  hast  promised  to  hear  the  petitions  of 
those  who  ask  in  Thy  Son's  Name;  we  beseech  Thee  mercifully 
to  incline  Thine  ears  to  us  who  have  now  made  our  prayers  and 
supplications  unto  Thee ;  and  grant  that  those  things  which  we 
have  faithfully  asked  according  to  Thy  trill,  may  effectually  be 
obtained,  to  the  relief  of  our  necessity,  and  to  the  setting  forth 
of  Thy  glory;  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.     Amen.

THE    CATECHISM. 


PART  I. 


THE  TEN  COMMANDMENTS. 

THE    FIRST    COMMANDMENT. 

I  am  the  Lord  thy  God.  Thou  shalt  have  no  other  gods  before 
Me. 

[Thou  shalt  not  make  unto  thee  any  graven  image,  or  any  like 
ness  of  anything  that  is  in  heaven  above,  or  that  is  in  the  eartl: 
beneath,  or  that  is  in  the  water  under  the  earth ;  thou  shalt  no! 
bow  down  thyself  to  them,  nor  serve  them ;  for  I  the  Lord  thj 
God  am  a  jealous  God,  visiting  the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon 
the  children  unto  the  third  and  fourth  generation  of  them  that 
hate  Me ;  and  showing  mercy  unto  thousands  of  them  that  love 
Me,  and  keep  my  commandments.] 

What  is  meant  by  this  Commandment? 

Answer.  We  should  fear,  love,  and  trust  in  God  above  all 
things. 

THE    SECOND    COMMANDMENT. 

Thou  shalt  not  take  the  Name  of  the  Lord  thy  God  in  vain ;  for 
the  Lord  will  not  hold  him  guiltless  that  taketh  His  Name  in  vain. 

What  is  meant  by  this  Commandment? 

Arts.  We  should  so  fear  and  love  God  as  not  to  curse,  swear, 
conjure,  lie,  or  deceive,  by  His  Name,  but  call  upon  Him  in  every 
time  of  need,  and  worship  Him  with  prayer,  praise,  and  thanks- 
giving. 

THE    THIRD  COMMANDMENT. 

Remember  the  Sabbath  day,  to  keep  it  holy. 

[Six  days  shalt  thou  labor,  and  do  all  thy  work;  but  the 
seventh  day  is  the  Sabbath  of  the  Lord  thy  God :  in  it  thou  shalt 
not  do  any  work,  thou,  nor  thy  son,  nor  thy  daughter,  thy  man- 

31 


THE    CATECHISM. 

servant,  nor  thy  maidservant,  nor  thy  cattle,  nor  thy  stranger  that 
is  within  thy  gates :  for  in  six  days  the  Lord  made  heaven  and 
earth,  the  sea,  and  all  that  in  them  is,  and  rested  the  seventh  day, 
wherefore  the  Lord  blessed  the  Sabbath  day,  and  hallowed  it.] 

What  is  meant  by  this  Commandment? 

Am.  We  should  so  fear  and  love  God  as  not  to  despise  His 
Word  and  the  preaching  of  the  Gospel,  but  deem  it  holy,  and  will- 
ingly hear  and  learn  it. 

THE   FOURTH   COMMANDMENT. 

Honor  thy  father  and  thy  mother,  that  thy  days  may  be  long 
upon  the  land  which  the  Lord  thy  God  giveth  thee. 

What  is  meant  by  this  Commandment  ? 

A?is.  We  should  so  fear  and  love  God  as  not  to  despise  nor  dis- 
please our  parents  and  superiors,  but  honor,  serve,  obey,  love,  and 
esteem  them. 

THE   FIFTH   COMMANDMENT. 

Thou  shalt  not  kill. 

What  is  meant  by  this  Commandment? 

Ans.  We  should  so  fear  and  love  God  as  not  to  do  our  neigh- 
bor any  bodily  harm  or  injury,  but  rather  assist  and  comfort  him 
in  danger  and  want. 

THE    SIXTH   COMMANDMENT. 

Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery. 

What  is  meant  by  this  Commandment? 

Ans.  We  should  so  fear  and  love  God  as  to  be  chaste  and  pure 
in  our  words  and  deeds,  each  one  also  loving  and  honoring  his 
wife  or  her  husband. 

THE    SEVENTH   COMMANDMENT. 

Thou  shalt  not  steal. 

What  is  meant  by  this  Commandment? 

Arts.  We  should  so  fear  and  love  God  as  not  to  rob  our  neigh- 
bor of  his  money  or  property,  nor  bring  it  into  our  possession  by 
unfair  dealing  or  fraudulent  means,  but  rather  assist  him  to  im- 
prove and  protect  it. 

32 


THE    CATECHISM. 
THE   EIGHTH   COMMANDMENT. 

Thou  shalt  not  bear  false  witness  against  thy  neighbor. 

What  is  meant  by  this  Commandment? 

Ans.  W.e  should  so  fear  and  love  God  as  not  deceitfully  to 
belie,  betray,  slander,  nor  raise  injurious  reports  against  our  neigh- 
bor, but  apologize  for  hira,  speak  well  of  him,  and  put  the  most 
charitable  construction  on  all  his  actions. 

THE   NINTH   COMMANDMENT. 

Thou  shalt  not  covet  thy  neighbor's  house. 

What  is  meant  by  this  Commandment  ? 

Ans.  We  should  so  fear  and  love  God  as  not  to  desire  by  crafti- 
ness to  gain  possession  of  our  neighbor's  inheritance  or  home,  or 
to  obtain  it  under  the  pretext  of  a  legal  right,  but  be  ready  to 
assist  and  serve  him  in  the  preservation  of  his  own. 

THE  TENTH   COMMANDMENT. 

Thou  shalt  not  covet  thy  neighbor's  wife,  nor  his  manservant, 
nor  his  maidservant,  nor  his  ox,  nor  his  ass,  nor  anything  that  is 
thy  neighbor's. 

What  is  meant  by  this  Commandment  ? 

Ans.  We  should  so  fear  and  love  God  as  not  to  alienate  our 
neighbor's  wife  from  him,  entice  away  his  servants,  nor  let  loose 
his  cattle,  but  use  our  endeavors  that  they  may  remain  and  dis- 
charge their  duty  to  him. 

What  does  God  declare  concerning  all  these  Commandments  ? 

Ans.  He  says :  I  the  Lord  thy  God  am  a  jealous  God,  visiting 
the  iniquity  of  the  fathers  upon  the  children  unto  the  third  and 
fourth  generation  of  them  that  hate  Me ;  and  showing  mercy  unto 
thousands  of  them  that  love  Me  and  keep  my  commandments. 

What  is  meant  by  this  declaration  * 

Ans.  God  threatens  to  punish  all  those  who  transgress  these 
commandments.  We  should,  therefore,  dread  His  displeasure, 
and  not  act  contrary  to  these  commandments.  But  He  promises 
grace  and  every  blessing  to  all  who-  keep  them.  We  should, 
therefore,  love  and  trust  in  Him,  and  cheerfully  do  what  He  has 
commanded  us.

THE    CATECHISM. 

PART  II. 


THE  CREED. 

FIRST   ARTICLE.  —  OF   CREATION. 

I  believe  in  God  the  Father  Almighty,  Maker  of  heaven  and 
earth. 

What  is  meant  by  this  Article  ? 

Ans.  I  believe  that  God  has  created  me  and  all  that  exists ; 
that  He  has  given  and  still  preserves  to  me  my  body  and  soul 
with  all  my  limbs  and  senses,  my  reason  and  all  the  faculties  of 
my  mind,  together  with  my  raiment,  food,  home,  and  family,  and 
all  my  property ;  that  He  daily  provides  me  abundantly  with  all 
the  necessaries  of  life,  protects  me  from  all  danger,^and  preserves 
me  and  guards  me  against  all  evil.;  all  which  He  does  out  of  pure, 
paternal,  and  divine  goodness  and  mercy,  without  any  merit  or 
worthiness  in  me ;  for  all  which  I  am  in  duty  bound  to  thank, 
praise,  serve,  and  obey  Him.     This  is  most  certainly  true. 

SECOND   ARTICLE.  —  OF   REDEMPTION. 

And  in  Jesus  Christ  His  only  Son,  our  Lord ;  who  was  con- 
ceived by  the  Holy  Ghost,  born  of  the  Virgin  Mary ;  suffered 
under  Pontius  Pilate,  was  crucified,  dead,  and  buried ;  He  de- 
scended into  hell ;  the  third  day  He  rose  again  from  the  dead  ; 
He  ascended  into  heaven,  and  sitteth  on  the  right  hand  of  God 
the  Father  Almighty ;  from  thence  He  shall  come  to  judge  the 
quick  and  the  dead. 

What  is  meant  by  this*Article? 

Arts.  I  believe  that  Jesus  Christ,  true  God,  begotten  of  the 
Father  from  eternity,  and  also  true  man,  born  of  the  Virgin  Mary, 
is  my  Lord;  who  has  redeemed  me,  a  lost  and  condemned  crea- 
ture, secured  and  delivered  me  from  all  sins,  from  death,  and  from 
the  power  of  the  devil,  not  with  silver  and  gold,  but  with  His 
holy  and  precious  blood,  and  with  His  innocent  sufferings  and 
death ;  in  order  that  I  might  be  His,  live  under  Him  in  His  king- 
dom, and  serve  Him  in  everlasting  righteousness,  innocence,  and 
blessedness ;  even  as  He  is  risen  from  the  dead,  and  lives  and 
reigns  to  all  eternity.     This  is  most  certainly  true. 

84 


THE    CATECHISM. 
THE   THIRD    ARTICLE.  —  OF   SANCTIFICATION. 

I  believe  in  the  Holy  Ghost ;  the  holy  Christian  Church,  the 
Communion  of  Saints ;  the  Forgiveness  of  sins ;  the  Resurrection 
of  the  body  ;  and  the  Life  everlasting.     Amen. 

What  is  meant  by  this  Article? 

Am.  I  believe  that  I  cannot  by  my  own  reason  or  strength  be- 
lieve in  Jesus  Christ  my  Lord,  or  come  to  Him ;  but  the  Holy 
Ghost  has  called  me  through  the  Gospel,  enlightened  me  by  His 
gifts,  and  sanctified  and  preserved  me  in  the  true  faith  ^  in  like 
manner  as  He  calls,  gathers,  enlightens,  and  sanctifies  the  whole 
Christian  Church  on  earth,  and  preserves  it  in  union  with  Jesus 
Christ  in  the  true  faith ;  in  which  Christian  Church  He  daily  for- 
gives abundantly  all  my  sins,  and  the  sins  of  all  believers,  and  will 
raise  up  me  and  all  the  dead  at  the  last  day,  and  will  grant  ever- 
lasting life  to  me  and  to  all  who  believe  in  Christ.  This  is  most 
certainly  true. 


PART  III. 


THE  LORD'S  PRAYER. 

INTRODUCTION. 

Our  Father  Who  art  in  heaven. 

What  is  meant  by  this  Introduction? 

Ans.  God  would  thereby  affectionately  encourage  us  to  believe 
that  He  is  truly  our  Father,  and  that  we  are  His  children  indeed, 
so  that  we  may  call  upon  Him  with  all  cheerfulness  and  confidence, 
even  as  beloved  children  entreat  their  affectionate  parent. 

FIRST    PETITION. 

Hallowed  be  Thy  Name. 

What  is  meant  by  this  Petition  ? 

Am.  The  Name  of  God  is  indeed  holy  in  itself;  but  we  pray  in 
this  petition  that  it  may  be  hallowed  also  by  us. 

How  is  this  effected  ? 

Ans.  When  the  Word  of  God  is  taught  in  its  truth  and  purity, 
C  35 


THE    CATECHISM. 

and  we,  as  the  children  of  God,  lead  holy  lives,  in  accordance  with 
it ;  to  this  may  our  blessed  Father  in  heaven  help  us !  But  who- 
ever teaches  and  lives  otherwise  than  as  God's  Word  prescribes, 
profanes  the  Name  of  God  among  us;  from  this  preserve  us, 
Heavenly  Father ! 

SECOND   PETITION. 

Thy  kingdom  come. 

Wliat  is  meant  by  this  Petition  ? 

Ans.  The  kingdom  of  God  comes  indeed  of  itself,  without  our 
prayer ;  but  we  pray  in  this  petition  that  it  may  come  unto  us  also. 

When  is  this  effected  t 

Arts.  When  our  Heavenly  Father  gives  us  His  Holy  Spirit,  so 
that  by  His  grace  we  believe  His  holy  Word,  and  live  a  godly  life 
here  on  earth,  and  in  heaven  for  ever. 

THIRD   PETITION. 

Thy  will  be  done  on  earth,  as  it  is  in  heaven. 

What  is  meant  by  this  Petition? 

Ans.  The  good  and  gracious  will  of  God  is  done  indeed  without 
our  prayer ;  but  we  pray  in  this  petition  that  it  may  be  done  by 
us  also. 

When  is  this  effected  t 

Ans.  When  God  frustrates  and  brings  to  nought  every  evil 
counsel  and  purpose,  which  would  hinder  us  from  hallowing  the 
Name  of  God,  and  prevent  His  kingdom  from  coming  to  us,  such 
as  the  will  of  the  devil,  of  the  world,  and  of  our  own  flesh ;  and 
when  He  strengthens  us,  and  keeps  us  steadfast  in  His  Word,  and 
in  the  faith,  even  unto  our  end.  This  is  His  gracious  and  good 
will. 

FOURTH   PETITION. 

Give  us  this  day  our  daily  bread. 

Wliat  is  meant  by  this  Petition  ? 

Ans.  God  gives  indeed  without  our  prayer  even  to  the  wicked 
also  their  daily  bread  ;  but  we  pray  in  this  petition  that  He  would 
make  us  sensible  of  His  benefits,  and  enable  us  to  receive  our  daily 
bread  with  thanksgiving. 


THE    CATECHISM. 

What  is  implied  in  the  words :  "  our  daily  bread  "  / 

Ans.  All  things  that  pertain  to  the  wants  and  the  support  of 
this  present  life ;  such  as  food,  raiment,  money,  goods,  house  and 
land,  and  other  property;  a  believing  spouse  and  good  children; 
trustworthy  servants  and  faithful  magistrates ;  favorable  seasons, 
peace  and  health;  education  and  honor;  true  friends,  good 
neighbors,  and  the  like. 

FIFTH   PETITION. 

And  forgive  us  our  trespasses,  as  we  forgive  those  who  trespass 
against  us. 

What  is  meant  by  this  Petition  ? 

Ans.  We  pray  in  this  petition,  that  our  Heavenly  Father  would 
not  regard  our  sins,  nor  deny  us  our  requests  on  account  of  them ; 
for  we  are  not  worthy  of  anything  for  which  we  pray,  and  have 
not  merited  it ;  but  that  He  would  grant  us  all  things  through 
grace,  although  we  daily  commit  much  sin,  and  deserve  chastise- 
ment alone.  We  will  therefore,  on  our  part,  both  heartily  forgive, 
and  also  readily  do  good  to  those  who  may  injure  or  offend  us. 

SIXTH   PETITION. 

And  lead  us  not  into  temptation. 

Wliat  is  meant  by  this  Petition  t 

Ans.  God  indeed  tempts  no  one  to  sin ;  but  we  pray  in  this  pe- 
tition that  God  would  so  guard  and  preserve  us,  that  the  devil,  the 
world,  and  our  own  flesh,  may  not  deceive  us,  nor  lead  us  into 
error  and  unbelief,  despair,  and  other  great  and  shameful  sins;  and 
that,  though  we  may  be  thus  tempted,  we  may,  nevertheless,  finally 
prevail  and  gain  the  victory. 

SEVENTH   PETITION. 

But  deliver  us  from  evil. 

Wliat  is  meant  by  this  Petition  ? 

Ans.  We  pray  in  this  petition,  as  in  a  summary,  that  our 
Heavenly  Father  would  deliver  us  from  all  manner  of  evil, 
whether  it  affect  the  body  or  soul,  property  or  character,  and,  at 
last,  when  the  hour  of  death  shall  arrive,  grant  us  a  happy  end, 
and  graciously  take  us  from  this  world  of  sorrow  to  Himself  in 
heaven.

THE    CATECHISM. 
CONCLUSION. 

For  Thine  is  the  kingdom,  and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  for 
ever  and  ever.     Amen. 

What  is  meant  by  the  word  "  Amen  "  ? 

Ajis.  That  I  should  be  assured  that  such  petitions  are  acceptable 
to  our  Heavenly  Father,  and  are  heard  by  Him ;  for  He  Himself 
has  commanded  us  to  pray  in  this  manner,  and  has  promised  that 
He  will  hear  us.     Amen,  Amen,  that  is,  Yea,  yea,  it  shall  be  so. 


PART  IV. 


THE  SACBAMENT  OF  HOLY  BAPTISM. 

I.  What  is  Baptism? 

Ans.  Baptism  is  not  simply  water,  but  it  is  the  water  compre- 
hended in  God's  command,  and  connected  with  God's  Word. 

What  is  that  Word  of  God? 

Ans.  It  is  that  which  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  spake,  as  it  is  re- 
corded in  the  last  chapter  of  Matthew,  verse  19 :  "Go  ye,  and 
teach  all  nations,  baptizing  them  in  the  Name  of  the  Father,  and 
of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy  Ghost." 

II.  What  gifts  or  benefits  does  Baptism  confer? 

Ans.  It  worketh  forgiveness  of  sins,  delivers  from  death  and  the 
devil,  and  confers  everlasting  salvation  on  all  who  believe,  as  the 
Word  and  promise  of  God  declare. 

Wliat  are  such  words  and  promises  of  God  ? 

Ans.  Those  which  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  spake,  as  they  are 
recorded  in  the  last  chapter  of  Mark,  verse  16:  "He  that  believeth 
and  is  baptized,  shall  be  saved ;  but  he  that  believeth  not,  shall 
be  damned." 

III.  How  can  water  produce  such  great  effects? 

Ans.  It  is  not  the  water  indeed  that  produces  these  effects,  but 
the  Word  of  God  which  accompanies  and  is  connected  with  the 
water,  and  our  faith,  which  relies  on  the  Word  of  God  connected 
with  the  water.  For  the  water,  without  the  Word  of  God,  is  simply 
water  and  no  Baptism.  But  when  connected  with  the  Word  of  God, 
it  is  a  baptism,  that  is,  a  gracious  water  of  life,  a  "  washing  of 

83 


THE    CATECHISM. 

regeneration  "  in  the  Holy  Ghost ;  as  St.  Paul  says  to  Titus,  in  the 
third  chapter,  verses  5-8 :  "  According  to  His  mercy  He  saved  us, 
by  the  washing  of  regeneration,  and  renewing  of  the  Holy  Ghost; 
which  He  shed  on  us  abundantly  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Saviour; 
that  being  justified  by  His  grace,  we  should  be  made  heirs  according 
to  the  hope  of  eternal  life.     This  is  a  faithful  saying." 

IV.    Wliat  does  such  baptizing  with  water  signify? 

Ans.  It  signifies  that  the  old  Adam  in  us  is  to  be  drowned  and 
destroyed  by  daily  sorrow  and  repentance,  together  with  all  sins 
and  evil  lusts ;  and  that  again  the  new  man  should  daily  come 
forth  and  rise,  that  shall  live  in  the  presence  of  God  in  righteous- 
ness and  purity  for  ever. 

Where  is  it  so  written  ? 

Ans.  St.  Paul,  in  the  Epistle  to  the  Romans,  chapter  6,  verse  4, 
says :  "  We  are  buried  with  Christ  by  Baptism  into  death  ;  that 
like  as  He  was  raised  up  from  the  dead  by  the  glory  of  the  Father, 
even  so  we  also  should  walk  in  newness  of  life." 


OF  COXFESSIQX. 

WJiat  is  Confession  t 

Ans.  Confession  consists  of  two  parts :  the  one  is,  that  we  con- 
fess our  sins  ;  the  other,  that  we  receive  absolution  or  forgiveness 
through  the  pastor  as  of  God  himself,  in  no  wise  doubting,  but 
firmly  believing  that  our  sins  are  thus  forgiven  before  God  in  heaven. 

Tfltat  sins  ought  we  to  confess? 

Ans.  In  the  presence  of  God  we  should  acknowledge  ourselves 
guilty  of  all  manner  of  sins,  even  of  those  which  we  do  not  our- 
selves perceive ;  as  we  do  in  the  Lord's  Prayer.  But  in  the  pres- 
ence of  the  pastor  we  should  confess  those  sins  alone,  of  which  we 
have  knowledge,  and  which  we  feel  in  our  hearts. 

Wtich  are  these? 

Ans.  Here  reflect  in  your  condition,  according  to  the  Ten  Com- 
mandments, namely  :  Whether  you  are  a  father  or  mother,  a  son  or 
daughter,  a  master  or  mistress,  a  manservant  or  maidservant  — 
whether  you  have  been  disobedient,  unfaithful,  slothful  —  whether 
you  have  injured  any  one  bywords  or  actions  —  whether  you  have 
stolen,  neglected,  or  wasted  aught,  or  done  other  evil.

PART  V. 


THE  SACRAMENT  OF  THE  ALTAR, 

OR,   THE   LORD'S    SUPPER. 

What  is  the  Sacrament  of  the  Altar? 

Arts.  It  is  the  true  Body  and  Blood  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ, 
under  the  bread  and  wine,  given  unto  us  Christians  to  eat  and  to 
drink,  as  it  was  instituted  by  Christ  Himself. 

Wliere  is  it  so  written  ? 

Ans.  The  Holy  Evangelists,  Matthew,  Mark,  and  Luke,  together 
with  St.  Baul,  wrrite  thus : 

"  Our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  the  same  night  in  which  He  was  be- 
trayed, took  bread :  and  when  He  had  given  thanks,  He  brake  it, 
and  gave  it  to  the  disciples,  and  said,  Take,  eat ;  this  is  my  Body, 
which  is  given  for  you :  this  do,  in  remembrance  of  Me. 

"  After  the  same  manner  also  He  took  the  cup,  when  He  had 
supped,  gave  thanks,  and  gave  it  to  them,  saying,  Drink  ye  all  of 
it :  this  cup  is  the  new  testament  in  my  Blood,  which  is  shed  for 
you,  for  the  remission  of  sins :  this  do  ye,  as  oft  as  ye  drink  it,  in 
remembrance  of  Me." 

What  benefits  are  derived  from  such  eating  and  drinking? 

Ans.  They  are  pointed  out  in  these  words,  "  given  and  shed  for 
you,  for  the  remission  of  sins."  Namely,  through  these  words,  the 
remission  of  sins,  life  and  salvation  are  granted  unto  us  in  the 
Sacrament.  For  where  there  is  remission  of  sins,  there  are  also 
life  and  salvation. 

How  can  the  bodily  eating  and  drinking  produce  such  great  effects  ? 

Ans.  The  eating  and  the  drinking,  indeed,  do  not  produce  them, 
but  the  words  which  stand  here,  namely :  "  given,  and  shed  for 
you,  for  the  remission  of  sins."  These  words  are,  besides  the 
bodily  eating  and  drinking,  the  chief  things  in  the  Sacrament: 
and  he  who  believes  these  words,  has  that  which  they  declare  and 
set  forth,  namely,  the  remission  of  sins. 

JO 


THE    CATECHISM. 

Who  is  it,  then,  that  receives  this  Sacrament  worthily  ? 

Arts.  Fasting  and  bodily  preparation  are  indeed  a  good  external 
discipline ;  but  he  is  truly  worthy  and  well  prepared,  who  believes 
these  words,  "  given  and  shed  for  you,  for  the  remission  of  sins." 
But  he  who  does  not  believe  these  words,  or  who  doubts,  is  un- 
worthy and  unfit ;  for  the  words :  u  for  you,"  require  truly  be- 
lieving hearts. 


MORNING  AND  EVENING  PRAYER. 

fl  In  the  Morning,  when  thou  risest,  thou  shalt  say  : 

In  the  Name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy 
Ghost.     Amen. 

f  Then,  kneeling  or  standing,  thou  shalt  say  the  Apostles'  Creed  and  the  Lord's  Prayer. 
fi  Then  shalt  thou  say  this  Prayer: 

I  give  thanks  unto  Thee,  Heavenly  Father,  through  Jesus 
Christ  Thy  dear  Son,  that  Thou  hast  protected  me  through  the 
night  from  all  danger  and  harm ;  and  I  beseech  Thee  to  preserve 
and  keep  me  this  day  also,  from  all  sin  and  evil ;  that  in  all  my 
thoughts,  words,  and  deeds,  I  may  serve  and  please  Thee.  Into 
Thy  hands  I  commend  my  body  and  soul,  and  all  that  is  mine. 
Let  Thy  holy  angel  have  charge  concerning  me,  that  the  wicked 
one  have  no  power  over  me.     Amen. 

^[  In  the  Evening,  when  thou  goest  to  bea\  thou  shalt  say  : 

In  the  Name  of  the  Father,  and  of  the  Son,  and  of  the  Holy 
Ghost.     Amen. 

£  Then,  kneeling  or  standing,  thou  shalt  say  the  Apostles'  Creed  and  the  Lord's  Prayer. 
ft  Then  shalt  thoit  say  this  Prayer  : 

I  give  thanks  unto  Thee,  Heavenly  Father,  through  Jesus  Christ 
Thy  dear  Son,  that  Thou  hast  this  day  so  graciously  protected  me, 
and  I  beseech  Thee  to  forgive  me  all  my  sins,  and  the  wrong  which 
I  have  done,  and  by  Thy  great  mercy  defend  me  from  all  the  perils 
and  dangers  of  this  night.  Into  Thy  hands  I  commend  my  body 
and  soul,  and  all  that  is  mine.  Let  Thy  holy  angel  have  charge 
concerning  me,  that  the  wicked  one  have  no  power  over  me.  Amen.

GRACE   BEFORE  MEAT. 


f  Before  meat,  the  members  of  the  family  surrounding  the  table  reverently  and  with  folded  hands, 
there  shall  be  said: 

The  eyes  of  all  wait  upon  Thee,  O  Lord :  and  Thou  givest  them 
their  meat  in  due  season.  Thou  openest  Thine  hand,  and  satisfiest 
the  desire  of  every  living  thing. 

^  Tfien  shall  be  said  the  Lord's  Prayer,  and  after  that  this  Prayer: 

O  Lord  God,  Heavenly  Father,  bless  unto  us  these  Thy  gifts, 
which  of  Thy  tender  kindness  Thou  hast  bestowed  upon  us,  through 
Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.     Amen. 

THANKS   AFTER  MEAT. 

1f  After  meat,  reverently  and  with  folded  hands  shall  be  said: 

O  give  thanks  unto  the  Lord,  for  He  is  good :  for  His  mercy 
endureth  for  ever.  He  giveth  food  to  all  flesh  ;  He  giveth  to  the 
beast  his  *food,  and  to  the  young  ravens  which  cry.  The  Lord 
taketh  pleasure  in  them  that  fear  Him :  in  those  that  hope  in  His 
mercy. 

%  Then  shall  be  said  the  Lord's  Prayer,  and  after  that  Shis  Prayer.* 

We  give  thanks  to  Thee,  O  God  our  Father,  for  all  Thy  benefits, 
through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord,  Who  with  Thee  liveth  and  reigneth, 
for  ever  and  ever.    Amen. 


TABLE  OF  DUTIES. 

Or,  certain  passages  of  the  Scriptures,  selected  for  various  orders  and  conditions  of  men,  wherein 
their  respective  duties  are  set  forth. 

BISHOPS,    PASTORS,   AND   PREACHERS. 

A  bishop  must  be  blameless,  the  husband  of  one  wife,  vigilant, 
sober,  of  good  behavior,  given  to  hospitality,  apt  to  teach ;  not 
given  to  wine,  no  striker,  not  greedy  of  filthy  lucre ;  but  patient, 
not  a  brawler,  not  covetous ;  one  that  rnleth  well  his  own  house, 
having  his  children  in  subjection  with  all  gravity;  not  a  novice, 
but  holding  fast  the  faithful  word  as  he  hath  been  taught,  that  he 
may  be  able  by  sound  doctrine  both  to  exhort  and  to  convince  the 
gainsayers.  —  1  Tim.  3  :  2-6 ;   Tit.  1  :  9. 

42 


THE    CATECHISM. 


MAGISTRATES. 


Let  every  soul  be  subject  unto  the  higher  powers.  For  there  is 
no  power  but  of  God  ;  the  powers  that  be  are  ordained  of  God ;  for 
rulers  are  not  a  terror  to  good  works,  but  to  the  evil.  Wilt  thou 
then  not  be  afraid  of  the  power  ?  do  that  which  is  good,  and  thou 
shalt  have  praise  of  the  same ;  for  he  is  the  minister  of  God  to 
thee  for  good.  But  if  thou  do  that  which  is  evil,  be  afraid ;  for 
he  beareth  not  the  swTord  in  vain :  for  he  is  the  minister  of  God,  a 
revenger  to  execute  wrath  upon  him  that  doeth  evil. — Rom.  13  : 1-4. 

HUSBANDS. 

Ye  husbands,  dwell  with  your  wives  according  to  knowledge, 
giving  honor  unto  the  wife,  as  unto  the  weaker  vessel,  and  as  being 
heirs  together  of  the  grace  of  life ;  that  your  prayers  be  not 
hindered.  —  1  Pet.  3  :  7.  And  be  not  bitter  against  them. — 
Col.  3  :  19. 

WIVES. 

Wives,  submit  yourselves  unto  your  husbands,  as  unto  the  Lord 
—  even  as  Sarah  obeyed  Abraham,  calling  him  lord :  whose 
daughters  ye  are,  as  long  as  ye  do  well,  and  are  not  afraid  with 
any  amazement.  —  Eph.  5  :  22 ;  1  Pet.  3  :  6. 

PARENTS. 

Ye  fathers,  provoke  not  your  children  to  wrath  :  but  bring  them 
up  in  the  nurture  and  admonition  of  the  Lord.  —  Eph.  6  :  4. 

CHILDREN. 

Children,  obey  your  parents  in  the  Lord :  for  this  is  right. 
Honor  thy  father  and  thy  mother ;  which  is  the  first  command- 
ment with  promise ;  that  it  may  be  well  with  thee,  and  thou  mayest 
live  long  on  the  earth.  —  Eph.  6  :  1-3. 

MALE  AND  FEMALE  SERVANTS  AND  LABORERS. 

Servants,  be  obedient  to  them  that  are  your  masters  according 
to  the  flesh,  with  fear  and  trembling,  in  singleness  of  your  heart, 

43 


THE    CATECHISM. 


as  unto  Christ ;  not  with  eye-service,  as  men-pleasers ;  but  as  the 
servants  of  Christ  doing  the  will  of  God  from  the  heart ;  with 
good  will  doing  service,  as  to  the  Lord,  and  not  to  men ;  knowing 
that  whatsoever  good  thing  any  man  doeth,  the  same  shall  he 
receive  of  the  Lord,  whether  he  be  bond  or  free.  —  Eph.  6  :  5-8. 


MASTERS   AND   MISTRESSES. 


Ye  masters,  do  the  same  things  unto  them,  forbearing  threatening : 
knowing  that  your  Master  also  is  in  heaven ;  neither  is  there  respect 
of  persons  with  Him.  —  Eph.  6:9. 


YOUNG   PERSONS   IN   GENERAL. 


Likewise,  ye  younger,  submit  yourselves  unto  the  elder.  Yea, 
all  of  you  be  subject  one  to  another,  and  be  clothed  with  hu- 
mility: for  God  resisteth  the  proud,  and  giveth  grace  to  the  humble. 
Humble  yourselves  therefore  under  the  mighty  hand  of  God,  that 
He  may  exalt  you  in  due  time.  —  1  Pet.  5  :  5,  6. 


WIDOWS. 


She  that  is  a  widow  indeed,  and  desolate,  trusteth  in  God,  and 
continueth  in  supplications  and  prayers  night  and  day ;  but  she 
that  liveth  in  pleasure  is  dead  while  she  liveth.  —  1  Tim.  5  :  5,  6. 


CHRISTIANS    IN   GENERAL. 


Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbor  as  thyself.  Herein  are  compre- 
hended all  the  commandments.  —  Rom.  13  :  9, 10.  And  persevere 
in  prayer  for  all  men.  —  1  Tim.  2:1,2. 


Blessed  are  they  that  do  His  Commandments.

BEFORE  Jehovah's  awful  throne, 
Ye  nations,  bow  with  sacred  joy: 
Know  that  the  Lord  is  God  alone, 
He  can  create,  and  He  destroy, 

2  His  sovereign  power,  without  our  aid, 

Made  us  of  clay,  and  formed  us  men ; 
And  when  like  wandering  sheep  we  strayed, 
He  brought  us  to  His  fold  again. 

3  We  are  His  people,  we  His  care, 

Our  souls  and  all  our  mortal  frame  ; 
What  lasting  honors  shall  we  rear, 
Almighty  Maker,  to  Thy  Name? 

4  We'll  crowd  Thy  gates  with  thankful  songs, 

High  as  the  heavens  our  voices  raise ; 
And  earth,  with  her  ten  thousand  tongues, 
Shall  fill  Thy  courts  with  sounding  praise. 

5  Wide  as  the  world  is  Thy  command, 

Vast  as  eternity  Thy  Love; 
Firm  as  a  rock  Thy  truth  must  stand, 
When  rolling  years  shall  cease  to  move.

OH,  what  praises  shall  we  render 
To  the  Lord  who  reigns  above, 
For  His  mercies,  constant,  tender, 

For  His  condescending  love ! 
Though  we  often  have  offended, 

And  transgressed  His  holy  will, 
Still  has  He  our  souls  befriended ; 
We  may  call  Him  Father  still.

Thus  to  seek  Thee  in  our  youth ;

Lead  us  onward  in  Thy  truth.

Let  Thy  grace  be  there  victorious, 

Let  Thy  love  our  portion  be. 
May  we  know  Thy  great  salvation, 

Serve  and  love  Thee  all  our  days;

Join  to  sing  Thine  endless  praise,

For  the  pardoning  grace  that  saves  rne^ 

And  the  peace  that  from  it  flows. 
Help,  O  God,  my  weak  endeavor; 
This  dull  soul  to  rapture  raise : 
Thou  must  light  the  flame,  or  never 
Can  my  love  be  warmed  to  praise-. 

2  Praise,  my  soul,  the  God  that  sought  thee, 

Wretched  wanderer,  far  astray ; 
Found  thee  lost,  and  kindly  brought  thee 

From  the  paths  of  death  away. 
Praise,  with  love's  devoutest  feeling, 

Him  who  saw  thy  guilt-born  fear, 
And  the  light  of  hope  revealing, 

Bade  the  blood-stained  Cross  appear. 

3  Lord,  this  bosom's  ardent  feeling 

Vainly  would  my  lips  express : 
Low  before  Thy  footstool  kneeling, 

Deign  Thy  suppliant's  prayer  to  bless. 
Let  Thy  grace,  my  soul's  chief  treasure, 

Love's  pure  flame  within  me  raise : 
And,  since  words  can  never  measure, 

Let  my  life  show  forth  Thy  praise.

And  free  us  from  all  ills, 
In  this  world  and  the  next.

WE  gather,  we  gather,  dear  Jesus,  to  bring 
The  breathings  of  love  'mid  the  blossoms  of  Spring ; 
Our  Maker,  Redeemer,  we  gratefully  raise 
Our  hearts  and  our  voices  in  hymning  Thy  praise. 

2  When  stooping  to  earth  from  the  brightness  of  Heaven, 
Thy  blood  for  our  ransom  so  freely  was  given, 

Thou  deign edst  to  listen  while  children  adored, 
With  joyful  Hosannas,  the  bless'd  of  the  Lord. 

3  Those  arms,  which  embraced  little  children  of  old, 
Still  love  to  encircle  the  lambs  of  the  fold ; 

That  grace  which  inviteth  the  wandering  home, 
Hath  never  forbidden  the  youngest  to  come. 

4  Hosanna  !  Hosanna !  Great  Teacher !  we  raise 
Our  hearts  and  our  voices  in  hymning  Thy  praise 
For  precept  and  promise  so  graciously  given,  — 
For  blessings  of  earth,  and  glories  of  Heaven.

Schonster  Herr  Jesu. 

BEAUTIFUL  Saviour  !     King  of  creation  ! 
Son  of  God  and  Son  of  man ! 
Truly  I  'd  love  Thee,     Truly  I  'd  serve  Thee, 
Light  of  my  soul,  my  Joy,  my  Crown. 

Fair  are  the  meadows,   Fairer  the  woodlands, 
Robed  in  flowers  of  blooming  Spring; 

Jesus  is  fairer,     Jesus  is  purer; 

He  makes  our  sorrowing  spirit  sing. 

Fair  is  the  sunshine,  Fairer  the  moonlight 
And  the  sparkling  stars  on  high ; 

Jesus  shines  brighter,  Jesus  shines  purer, 
Than  all  the  angels  in  the  sky. 

Beautiful  Saviour !    Lord  of  the  nations  ! 

Son  of  God  and  Son  of  man  ! 
Glory  and  honor,     Praise,  adoration, 

Now  and  for  evermore  be  Thine !

ODAY  of  rest  and  gladness  ! 
O  day  of  joy  and  light ! 
O  balm  of  care  and  sadness, 

Most  beautiful,  most  bright, 
On  Thee  the  high  and  lowly, 

Through  ages  joined  in  tune, 
Sing,  holy,  holy,  holy, 
To  God  the  great  Triune. 

:  On  Thee,  at  the  creation, 

The  light  first  had  its  birth ; 
On  Thee,  for  our  salvation, 

Christ  rose  from  depths  of  earth; 
On  Thee,  our  Lord,  victorious, 

The  Spirit  sent  from  heaven  ; 
And  thus  on  Thee,  most  glorious, 

A  triple  light  was  given. 


3  To-day,  on  weary  nations, 

The  heavenly  Manna  falls ; 
To  holy  convocations 

The  silver  trumpet  calls, 
Where  gospel  light  is  glowing 

With  pure  and  radiant  beams, 
And  living  water  flowing 

With  soul-refreshing  streams. 

4  New  graces  ever  gaining 

From  this  one  day  of  rest, 
We  reach  the  Rest  remaining 

To  spirits  of  the  blest; 
To  Holy  Ghost  be  praises, 

To  Father  and  to  Son, 
The  Church  her  voice  upraises 

To  Thee,  blest  Three  in  One.

IX  Thy  Name,  0  Lord,  assembling, 
We  Thy  children  now  draw  near; 
Teach  us  to  rejoice  with  trembling  ; 
Speak,  and  let  Thy  servants  hear, — 

Hear  with  meekness, — 
Hear  Thy  Word  with  godly  fear. 

2  While  our  days  on  earth  are  lengthened, 

Help  us  give  them,  Lord,  to  Thee ; 
In  Thy  service  hourly  strengthened, 
May  we  never  weary  be, 

"  Till  Thy  glory 
In  the  world  of  light  we  see. 

3  Then  in  worship  purer,  sweeter, 

Thee  Thy  children  will  adore, 
Tasting  joys  far  higher,  greater 
Than  were  e'er  conceived  before, 

Praising,  serving, 
Thee,  our  God,  for  evermore.

LORD,  by  Thee  in  safety  borne 
To  another  Sunday  morn, 
Once  again  our  pilgrim  feet 
In  Thy  peaceful  temple  meet. 
As  we  pass  the  hallowed  porch, 

From  our  hearts  the  world  exclude, 
On  the  quiet  of  Thy  Church 

Let  no  earth-born  thought  intrude. 
Banish  roving  fancies  far ; 
Tune  afresh  the  souls  that  jar; 
Let  the  day  its  influence  shed, 
Till  the  coming  week  be  fled. 
We  must  answer  for  to-day, 

For  its  service  and  its  rest ; 
Give  us  grace  to  praise  and  pray, 

Grace  to  love  Thee,  and  be  blest.

Of  Thy  perfect  Righteousness: 
Then  at  length,  a  welcome  guest,

Earthly  cares  and  sorrows  o'er,

HALLELUIA  !  Lord,  our  voices 
Rise  in  choral  strains  to  Thee. 
Son  of  man,  Thy  Church  rejoices 
In  her  weekly  jubilee! 

2  Halleluia!  mercy  beaming 

Lights  the  path  that  leads  to  God ; 
Herald-lips,  Divinely  teeming, 
Publish  blessings  bought  with  blood. 

3  Halleluia  !  Saviour  hear  us  ; 

Downward  send  Thy  quickening  Dove ; 
May  His  silver  pinions  bear  us 
To  the  realms  of  rest  and  love.

SHEPHERD  of  tender  youth, 
Guiding  in  love  and  truth 
Through  devious  ways ; 
Christ,  our  triumphant  King, 
We  come  Thy  Name  to  sing, 
And  here  our  children  bring, 
To  join  Thy  praise. 

2  Thou  art  our  holy  Lord, 
O  all-subduing  Word, 

Healer  of  strife : 
Thou  didst  Thyself  abase, 
That  from  sin's  deep  disgrace 
Thou  mightest  save  our  race, 

And  give  us  life. 

3  O  wisdom's  great  High  Priest ! 
Thou  hast  prepared  the  feast 

Of  holy  love ; 


And  in  our  mortal  pain 
None  calls  on  Thee  in  vain ; 
Help  Thou  dost  not  disdain, 
Help  from  above. 

Ever  be  near  our  side, 

Our  Shepherd  and  our  Guide, 

Our  staff  and  song : 
Jesus,  Thou  Christ  of  God, 
By  Thine  enduring  Word, 
Lead  us  where  Thou  hast  trod ; 

Make  our  faith  strong. 

So  now,  and  till  we  die, 
Sound  we  Thy  praises  high, 

And  joyful  sing  : 
Let  all  the  holy  throng 
Who  to  Thy  Church  belong, 
Unite  and  swell  the  song 

To  Christ  our  King  I

AWAKE,  my  soul,  and  with  the  sun

To  pay  thy  morning  sacrifice. 
Wake  and  lift  up  thyself,  my  heart, 
And  with  the  angels  bear  thy  part, 
Who  all  night  long  unwearied  sing 
High  praise  to  the  eternal  King.

And  hast  refreshed  me  while  I  slept : 
Grant,  Lord,  when  I  from  death  shall  wake, 
I  may  of  endless  life  partake ! 
Lord,  I  my  vows  to  Thee  renew ; 
Disperse  my  sins  as  morning  dew ; 
Guard  my  first  springs  of  thought  and  will, 
And  with  Thyself  my  spirit  fill. 
Direct,  control,  suggest,  this  day, 
All  I  design,  or  do,  or  say ; 
That  all  my  powers,  with  all  their  might, 
In  Thy  sole  glory  may  unite. 
Praise  God,  from  whom  all  blessings  flow ; 
Praise  Him,  all  creatures  here  below; 
Praise  Him,  above,  ye  heavenly  host, 
Praise  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost.

ALL  praise  to  Thee,  my  God,  this  night, 
For  all  the  blessings  of  the  light : 
Keep  me,  O  keep  me,  King  of  kings, 
Beneath  Thine  own  Almighty  wings  ! 

KA  Forgive  me,  Lord,  for  Thy  dear  Son, 
The  ill  that  I  this  day  have  done : 
That  with  the  world,  myself,  and  Thee, 
I,  ere  I  sleep,  at  peace  may  be. 

3  Teach  me  to  live,  that  I  may  dread 
The  grave  as  little  as  my  bed ; 

To  die,  that  this  vile  body  may 
Eise  glorious  at  the  awful  day. 

4  O  when  shall  I,  in  endless  day, 
For  ever  chase  dark  sleep  away, 
And  hymns  divine  with  angels  sing 
In  endless  praise  to  Thee,  my  King  ? 

5  Praise  God,  from  whom  all  blessings  flow ; 
Praise  Him,  all  creatures  here  below; 
Praise  Him  above,  ye  heavenly  host ; 
Praise  Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost.

ABIDE  with  me !  fast  falls  the  eventide ; 
The  darkness  deepens  :  Lord,  with  me  abide ! 
When  other  helpers  fail,  and  comforts  flee, 
Help  of  the  helpless,  O  abide  with  me ! 

2  Swift  to  its  close  ebbs  out  life's  little  day ; 
Earth's  joys  grow  dim,  its  glories  pass  away ; 
Change  and  decay  in  all  around  I  see ; 

O  Thou  who  changest  not,  abide  with  me ! 

3  Not  a  brief  glance  I  beg,  a  passing  word, 

But  as  Thou  dwell'st  with  Thy  disciples,  Lord, 
Familiar,  condescending,  patient,  free, 
Come,  not  to  sojourn,  but  abide  with  me. 

4  Come  not  in  terrors  as  the  King  of  kings, 

Be  kind  and  good,  with  healing  on  Thy  wings ; 
Tears  for  all  woes,  a  heart  for  every  plea ; 
O  Friend  of  sinners,  thus  abide  with  me ! 

5  Thou  on  my  head  in  early  youth  didst  smile, 
And,  though  rebellious  and  perverse  meanwhile, 
Thou  hast  not  left  me  oft  as  I  left  Thee : 

On  to  the  close,  O  Lord,  abide  with  me ! 

6  I  need  Thy  presence  every  passing  hour : 

What  but  Thy  grace  can  foil  the  tempter's  power? 
Who  like  Thyself  my  guide  and  stay  can  be? 
Through  cloud  and  sunshine,  0  abide  with  me ! 
.96 


EVENING. 

7  I  fear  no  foe,  with  Thee  at  hand  to  bless : 
Ills  have  no  weight,  and  tears  no  bitterness. 
"Where  is  death's  sting?  where,  grave,  thy  victory? 
I  triumph  still,  if  Thou  abide  with  me ! 

8  Hold  Thou  Thy  Cross  before  my  closing  eyes, 
Shine  through  the  gloom,  and  point  me  to'the  skies  : 
Heaven's  morning  breaks,  and  earth's  vain  shadows  flee ; 
In  life,  in  death,  O  Lord,  abide  with  me !

SUN  of  my  soul,  Thou  Saviour  dear, 
It  is  not  night  if  Thou  be  near ; 
O  may  no  earth-born  cloud  arise 
To  hide  Thee  from  Thy  servant's  eyes. 

2  When  the  soft  dews  of  kindly  sleep 
My  wearied  eyelids  gently  steep, 

Be  my  last  thought,  how  sweet  to  rest 
For  ever  on  my  Saviour's  breast. 

3  Abide  with  me  from  morn  till  eve, 
For  without  Thee  I  cannot  live, 
Abide  with  me  when  night  is  nigh, 
For  without  Thee  I  dare  not  die. 

4  If  some  poor  wandering  child  of  Thine 
Has  spurned  to-day  the  voice  divine, 
Now,  Lord,  the  gracious  work  begin ; 
Let  him  no  more  lie  down  in  sin. 

5  Watch  by  the  sick;  enrich  the  poor 
With  blessings  from  Thy  boundless  store ; 
Be  every  mourner's  sleep  to-night, 

Like  infant's  slumbers,  pure  and  light. 

6  Come  near  and  bless  us  when  we  wake, 
Ere  through  the  world  our  way  we  take ; 
Till  in  the  ocean  of  Thy  love 

We  lose  ourselves  in  Heaven  above.

Come  then  and  hearken,  for  he  brings 
Glad  tidings  from  the  King  of  kings. 

2  Then  cleansed  be  every  breast  from  sin, 
Make  straight  the  way  for  God  within, 
And  let  us  all  our  hearts  prepare 

For  Christ  to  come  and  enter  there. 

3  For  Thou  art  our  Salvation,  Lord, 
Our  Refuge  and  our  great  Reward. 
Without  Thy  grace  our  life  must  fade, 
And  wither  like  a  flower  decayed. 

4  Stretch  forth  Thy  hand,  to  health  restore, 
And  make  us  rise  to  fall  no  more : 

Once  more  upon  Thy  people  shine, 
And  fill  the  world  with  love  divine. 

5  To  Him  who  left  the  throne  of  heaven 
To  save  mankind,  all  praise  be  given : 
Like  praise  be  to  the  Father  done, 
And  Holy  Spirit  Three  in  One.

HARK,  the  glad  sound,  the  Saviour  comes, 
The  Saviour  promised  long ! 
Let  every  heart  prepare  a  throne, 
And  every  voice  a  song. 

2  On  Him  the  Spirit,  largely  poured, 

Exerts  His  sacred  fire ; 
Wisdom  and  might,  and  zeal  and  love, 
His  holy  breast  inspire. 

3  He  comes  the  prisoners  to  release, 

In  Satan's  bondage  held : 
The  gates  of  brass  before  Him  burst, 
The  iron  fetters  yield. 

4  He  comes  from  thickest  films  of  vice 

To  clear  the  mental  ray, 
And  on  the  eyeballs  of  the  blind 
To  pour  celestial  day. 

5  He  comes  the  broken  heart  to  bind, 

The  bleeding  soul  to  cure, 
And  with  the  treasures  of  His  grace 
To  enrich  the  humble  poor. 

6  Our  glad  hosannas,  Prince  of  Peace! 

Thy  welcome  shall  proclaim  ; 
And  heaven's  eternal  arches  ring 
With  Thy  beloved  Name.

Comes  with  pardon  down  from  heaven. 
Let  us  haste,  with  tears  of  sorrow, 
One  and  all,  to  be  forgiven.

Wrapping  all  the  earth  in  fear,

OGOME,  let  us  raise 
Our  tribute  of  song ; 
Thanksgiving  and  praise 

To  Jesus  belong  ; 
He  comes  from  above 
Our  bliss  to  begin, 
Make  perfect  in  love, 
And  free  us  from  sin. 

The  old  and  the  young, 

His  people  by  choice, 
With  heart,  soul,  and  tongue, 

In  Him  may  rejoice; 
We  meet  Him  to-day 

Triumphantly  crowned, 
And  welcome  His  way, 

In  chorus  around. 


3  Hosanna  I —  that  word 

To  children  is  dear ; 
To  Jesus  our  Lord, 

We'll  echo  it  here; 
Let  worldlings  despise, 

And  enemies  rail, 
Hosannas  shall  rise, 

Hosannas  prevail. 

4  God's  temple  shall  ring, 

While  under  His  eye, 
Hosanna  we  sing, 

For  Jesus  draws  nigh : 
Hosanna!  our  breath 

Through  life  shall  proclaim; 
Hosanna !  in  death, 

In  glory,  the  same !

HARK  !  what  mean  those  holy  voices 
Sweetly  sounding  through  the  skies? 
Lo!  the  angelic  host  rejoices; 
Heavenly  hallelujahs  rise. 

2  Listen  to  the  wondrous  story, 

Which  they  chant  in  hymns  of  joy: 
"  Glory  in  the  highest,  glory  ! 
Glory  be  to  God  most  high ! 

3  "  Peace  on  earth,  good-will  from  heaven, 

Beaching  far  as  man  is  found; 
Souls  redeemed,  and  sins  forgiven  ; 
Loud  our  golden  harps  shall  sound. 

4  "  Christ  is  born,  the  great  Anointed ; 

Heaven  and  earth  His  praises  sing ! 
O  receive  whom  God  appointed 

For  your  Prophet,  Priest,  and  King. 

5  "Hasten,  mortals,  to  adore  Him  ; 

Learn  His  Name,  and  taste  His  joy ; 
Till  in  heaven  ye  sing  before  Him, 
Glory  be  to  God  most  high  !  " 

6  Let  us  learn  the  wondrous  story 

Of  our  great  Eedeemer's  birth ; 
Spread  the  brightness  of  His  glory, 
Till  it  cover  all  the  earth.

LIKE  silver  lamps  in  a  distant  shrine, 
The  stars  are  sparkling  bright ; 
The  bells  of  the  city  of  God  ring  out, 

For  the  Son  of  Mary  was  born  to-night; 
The  gloom  is  past,  and  the  morn  at  last 
Is  coming  with  Orient  light. 

2  Never  fell  melodies  half  so  sweet 

As  those  which  are  filling  the  skies ; 
And  never  a  palace  shone  half  so  fair 

As  the  manger  bed  where  our  Saviour  lies ; 
No  night  in  the  year  is  half  so  dear 

As  this  which  has  ended  our  sighs. 

3  Now  a  new  Power  has  come  on  the  earth 

A  match  for  the  armies  of  Hell : 
A  Child  is  born  who  shall  conquer  the  foe, 

And  all  the  spirits  of  wickedness  quell : 
For  Mary's  Son  is  the  Mighty  One 

Whom  the  prophets  of  God  foretell. 

4  The  stars  of  heaven  still  shine  as  at  first 

They  gleamed  on  this  wonderful  night : 
The  bells  of  the  city  of  God  peal  out, 

And  the  Angels'  song  still  rings  in  the  height ; 
And  love  still  turns  where  the  Godhead  burns, 

Hid  in  Flesh  from  fleshly  sight. 

5  Faith  sees  no  longer  the  stable-floor, 

The  pavement  of  Sapphire  is  there ; 
The  clear  light  of  heaven  streams  out  to  the  world; 

And  Angels  of  God  are  crowding  the  air ; 
And  Heaven  and  earth,  through  the  spotless  Birth, 

Are  at  peace  on  this  night  so  fair,

HARK  !  a  burst  of  heavenly  music 
From  a  band  of  seraphs  bright, 
Suddenly  to  earth  descending 
In  the  calm  and  silent  night;

CHRISTMAS. 

To  the  shepherds  of  Judea, 

Watching  in  the  earliest  dawn, 
Lo  !  they  hear  the  joyful  tidings, 
"  Jesus,  Prince  of  Peace,  is  born  !  " 
Sweet  and  clear  those  angel  voices, 
Echoing  through  the  starry  sky, 
As  they  chant  the  heavenly  chorus, 
"  Glory  be  to  God  on  high  I " 

2  Slumbering  in  a  lowly  manger, 

Lies  the  mighty  Lord  of  all ; 
And  before  the  holy  Stranger 

See  the  trembling  shepherds  fall. 
He  has  come,  the  long-expected, 

Full  of  wisdom,  love,  and  grace, 
To  redeem  His  ruined  creatures, 
To  restore  our  fallen  race. 

So  let  angels  wake  the  chorus ! 
So  let  ransomed  men  reply ! 
Chanting  the  celestial  anthem, 
"  Glory  be  to  God  on  high  ! " 

3  And  this  joyful  Christmas  morning, 

Breaking  o'er  the  world  below, 
Tells  again  the  wondrous  story 
Shepherds  heard  so  long  ago. 
Who  shall  still  our  tuneful  voices, 

Who  the  tide  of  praise  shall  stem, 
Which  the  blessed  angels  taught  us, 
In  the  fields  of  Bethlehem  ? 

Hark  !  we  hear  again  the  chorus, 
Kinging  through  the  starry  sky, 
And  we  join  the  heavenly  anthem, 
"Glory  be  to  God  on  high ! "

ALL  my  heart  this  night  rejoices, 
As  I  hear,     Far  and  near, 
Sweetest  angel  voices  ; 

"  Christ  is  horn/'  their  choirs  are  singing, 
Till  the  air     Everywhere 
Xow  with  joy  is  ringing. 

2  Come,  then,  let  us  hasten  yonder; 

Here  let  all,     Great  and  small, 
Kneel  in  awe  and  wonder, 

Love  Him  who  with  love  is  yearning; 
Hail  the  star     That  from  far 

Bright  with  hope  is  burning. 

3  Ye  who  pine  in  weary  sadness, 

Weep  no  more,     For  the  door 
Now  is  found  of  gladness. 

Cling  to  Him,  for  He  will  guide  you 
Where  no  cross.     Pain  or  loss, 

Can  again  betide  you. 

4  Hither  come,  ye  poor  and  wretched, 

Know  His  will     Is  to  fill 
Every  hand  outstretched; 

Here  are  riches  without  measure, 
Here  forget     All  regret, 

Fill  your  hearts  with  treasure.

Live  to  Thee,     And  with  Thee

Far  on  high,     In  the  joy 
That  can  alter  never.

HARK !  what  sounds  are  sweetly  stealing, 
Soft  through  Bethlehem's  midnight  air? 
Louder  yet,  and  louder  pealing, 
Angel  accents  sure  are  there. 

2  See!  a  light  from  heaven  is  streaming, 

Night  and  darkness  quit  the  plain ; 
See!  an  angel  brightly  beaming, 
Followed  by  a  radiant  train. 

3  "  Fear  not,  shepherds  !  glad  my  story, 

Tidings  of  the  greatest  joy: 
Christ  is  born,  the  Lord  of  Glory! 
I  proclaim  a  Saviour  nigh." 

4  Thus  the  angel,  then  ascending, ' 

Seeks  again  the  realms  of  light; 
Now  the  chorus  faintly  ending, 
All  is  silence,  all  is  night.

Be  gracious  still,  and  deign  to  hear 
Our  poor  but  grateful  song.

GOOD  news  from  heaven  the  angels  bring, 
Glad  tidings  to  the  earth  they  sing : 
To  us  this  day  a  Child  is  given, 
To  crown  us  with  the  joy  of  heaven. 

2  This  is  the  Christ,  our  God  and  Lord, 
Who  in  all  need  shall  aid  afford; 

He  will  Himself  our  Saviour  be, 
From  all  our  sins  to  set  us  free. 

3  To  us  that  blessedness  He  brings, 
Which  from  the  Father's  bounty  springs: 
That  in  the  heavenly  realm  we  may 
With  Him  enjoy  eternal  day. 

4  All  hail,  Thou  noble  Guest,  this  morn, 
Whose  Love  did  not  the  sinner  scorn: 
In  my  distress  Thou  comest  to  me; 
What  thanks  shall  I  return  to  Thee? 

5  Were  earth  a  thousand  times  as  fair, 
Beset  with  gold  and  jewels  rare, 
She  yet  were  far  too  poor  to  be 

A  narrow  cradle,  Lord,  for  Thee.

CHRISTMAS, 

6  Ah,  dearest  Jesus,  holy  Child, 
Make  Thee  a  bed,  soft,  undefined, 
Within  my  heart,  that  it  may  be 
A  quiet  chamber  kept  for  Thee. 

7  Praise  God  upon  His  heavenly  throne, 
Who  gave  to  us  His  only  Son : 

For  this  His  hosts,  on  joyful  wing, 
A  blest  New  Year  of  mercy  sing.

Pucr  natus  in  Bethlehem. 

A  BABE  is  born  in  I  :  Bethlehem,  :  || 
Therefore  rejoice  Jerusalem. 
Hallelujah !  Hallelujah ! 

2  Within  a  manger  j|  :  He  doth  lie,  :  '| 
Whose  throne  is  set  above  the  sky. 

3  Stillness  was  all  the  manger  round, 
The  creature  its  Creator  found. 

4  The  wise  men  came,  led  by  the  star, 
Gold,  myrrh,  and  incense  brought  frjom  far* 

5  His  mother  is  the  Virgin  mild, 
And  He  the  Father's  only  Child. 

6  The  serpent's  wound  He  beareth  not, 
Yet  takes  our  blood,  and  shares  our  lot.

THE    CHURCH    YEAR; 

7  Our  human  flesh  He  enters  in, 
But  bears  no  single  taint  of  sin. 

8  To  fallen  man  himself  He  bowed, 
That  He  might  lift  us  up  to  God. 

9  On  this  most  blessed  Jubilee, 
All  glory  be,  O  God,  to  Thee. 

10  O  Holy  Three,  we  Thee  adore, 
This  dav,  henceforth,  for  evermore. 
Hallelujah !  Hallelujah !

Det  k inter  nu  til  Jutefest. 

THE  happy  Christmas  comes  once  more, 
The  heavenly  Guest  is  at  the  door, 
The  blessed  words  the  shepherds  thrill, 
The  joyous  tidings:  Peace,  Good-will. 

2  To  David's  city  let  us  fly, 

Where  angels  sing  beneath  the  sky; 
Through  plain  and  village  pressing  near, 
And  news  from  God  with  shepherds  hear. 

3  O  let  us  go  with  quiet  mind, 

The  gentle  Babe  with  shepherds  find, 
To  gaze  on  Him  who  gladdens  them, 
The  loveliest  flower  of  Jesse's  stem. 
120 


CHRISTMAS, 


4  The  lowly  Saviour  meekly  lies, 
Laid  off  the  splendor  of  the  skies ; 
No  crown  bedecks  his  forehead  fair, 
No  pearl,  nor  gem,  nor  silk  is  there, 

5  Xo  human  glory,  might  and  gold, 
The  lovely  Infant's  form  enfold; 
The  manger  and  the  swaddlings  poor 
Are  His,  whom  angels'  songs  adore. 

6  O  wake  our  hearts,  in  gladness  sing, 
And  keep  our  Christmas  with  our  King, 
Till  living  song,  from  loving  souls, 
Like  sound  of  mighty  waters  rolls. 

7  O  holy  Child,  Thy  manger  streams 

Till  earth  and  heaven  glow  with  its  beams, 
Till  midnight  noon's  bright  light  has  won, 
And  Jacob's  Star  outshines  the  sun. 

8  Thou  Patriarchs'  joy,  Thou  Prophets'  song, 
Thou  heavenly  Day-Spring,  looked  for  long, 
Thou  Son  of  man,  Incarnate  Word, 

Great  David's  Son,  great  David's  Lord ! 

9  Come,  Jesus,  glorious  heavenly  Guest, 
Keep  Thine  own  Christmas  in  our  breast, 
Then  David's  harp-strings,  hushed  so  long, 
Shall  swell  our  Jubilee  of  song.

REJOICE,  rejoice,  ye   Chris- 
tians, 
With  all  your  hearts,  tin's  morn ! 
0  hear  the  blessed  tidings, 

"  The  Lord,  the  Christ,  is  born ! " 
Now  brought  us  by  the  angels 
That  stand  about  God's  throne; 
O  lovely  are  the  voices 
That  make  such  tidings  known ! 

2  O  hearken  to  their  singing ! 

This  Child  shall  be  your  Friend ;  ' 
The  Father  so  hath  willed  it, 

That  thus  your  woes  should  end. 
The  Son  is  freely  given, 

That  in  Him  ye  may  have 
The  Father's  grace  and  blessing, 

And  know  He  loves  to  save. 


Nor  deem  the  form  too  lowly 

That  clothes  Him  at  this  hour; 
For  knowr  ye  what  it  hideth? 

'Tis  God's  almighty  power. 
Though  nowT  within  the  manger 

So  poor  and  weak  He  lies, 
He  is  the  Lord  of  all  things, 

He  reigns  above  the  skies. 

Sin,  death,  and  hell,  and  Satan 

Have  lost  the  victory  ; 
This  Child  shall  overthrow  them, 

As  ye  shall  surely  see. 
Their  wrath  shall  naught  avail 
them ; 

Fear  not,  their  reign  is  o'er ; 
This  Child  shall  overthrow  them ; 

O  hear,  and  doubt  no  more !

CHRISTIANS,  awake,  salute  the  happy  morn, 
Whereon  the  Saviour  of  mankind  was  born; 
Rise  to  adore  the  mystery  of  love, 
Which  hosts  of  angels  chanted  from  above ; 
With  them  the  joyful  tidings  first  begun 
Of  God  Incarnate  and  the  Virgin's  Son. 

2  Then  to  the  watchful  shepherds  it  was  told, 
Who  heard  the  angelic  herald's  voice,  u  Behold, 
I  bring  good  tidings  of  a  Saviour's  birth 
To  you  and  all  the  nations  upon  earth ; 
This  day  hath  God  fulfilled  His  promised  word, 
This  day  is  born  a  Saviour,  Christ  the  Lord." 
II*  125 


THE    CHURCH    YEAR: 

8  He  spake;  and  straightway  the  celestial  choir 
In  hymns  of  joy,  unknown  before,  conspire: 
The  praises  of  redeeming  love  they  sang, 
And  heaven's  whole  orb  with  Alleluias  rang. 
God's  highest  glory  was  their  anthem  still, 
Peace  upon  earth,  and  unto  men  good-will. 

4  To  Bethlehem  straight  th'  enlightened  shepherds  ran, 
To  see  the  wonders  God  had  wrought  for  man  ; 
Then  to  their  flocks,  still  praising  God,  return, 

And  their  glad  hearts  with  holy  rapture  burn ; 
To  all  the  joyful  tidings  they  proclaim, 
The  first  apostles  of  the  .Saviour's  Name. 

5  Oh  !  may  we  keep  and  ponder  in  our  mind 
God's  wondrous  love  in  saving  lost  mankind ; 
Trace  we  the  Babe,  Who  hath  retrieved  our  loss, 
From  the  poor  manger  to  the  bitter  cross ; 
Tread  in  His  steps,  assisted  by  His  grace, 

Till  man's  first  heavenly  state  again  takes  place. 

6  Then  may  we  hope,  the  angelic  hosts  among, 
To  join,  redeemed,  a  glad  triumphant  throng: 
He  that  was  born  upon  this  joyful  day 
Around  us  all  His  glory  shall  display; 
Saved  by  His  love,  incessant  we  shall  sing 
Eternal  praise  to  heaven's  Almighty  King.

CHRISTMAS. 

WHILE  shepherds  watched  their  flocks  by  night, 
All  seated  on  the  ground, 
The  Angel  of  the  Lord  came  down, 

And  glory  shone  around. 
"  Fear  not,"  said  he,  —  for  mighty  dread 

Had  seized  their  troubled  mind ;  — 
"  Glad  tidings  of  great  joy  I  bring 
To  you  and  all  mankind. 

Halleluia,  Halleluia,  Halleluia.     Amen. 

2  "  To  you,  in  David's  town,  this  day 
Is  born,  of  David's  line, 
A  Saviour,  who  is  Christ  the  Lord, 

And  this  shall  be  the  sign  : 
The  heavenly  babe  you  there  shall  find, 

To  human  view  displayed, 
All  meanly  wrapt  in  swathing-bands, 
And  in  a  manger  laid." 

Halleluia,  Halleluia,  Halleluia.     Amen* 

8  Thus  spake  the  seraph,  and  forthwith 
Appeared  a  shining  throng 
Of  angels,  praising  God,  who  thus 

Addressed  their  joyful  song :  — 
"  All  glory  be  to  God  on  high, 

And  to  the  earth  be  peace : 
Good- will,  henceforth,  from  heaven  to  men, 
Begin  and  never  cease." 

Halleluia,  Halleluia,  Halleluia.     Amen.

For  all  good  Christian  men ; 
Carol,  brothers,  carol 
Christmas  day  again. 

2  At  the  joyous  table, 

Think  of  those  who  've  none, 
The  orphan  and  the  widow, 

Hungry  and  alone. 
Bountiful  your  offerings 

To  the  altar  bring; 
Let  the  poor  and  needy 
Christmas  carols  sing. 
Carol,  brothers,  carol, 

Carol  joyfully, 
Carol  the  good  tidings, 
Carol  merrily ; 
And  pray  a  gladsome  Christmas 
For  all  good  Christian  men ; 
Carol,  brothers,  carol 
Christmas  day  again. 


Listening  angel  music, 

Discord  sure  must  cease  — 
Who  dare  hate  his  brother 

On  this  day  of  peace  ? 
While  the  heavens  are  telling 

To  mankind  good-will, 
Only  love  and  kindness 
Every  bosom  fill. 
Carol,  brothers,  carol, 

Carol  joy  fully, 
Carol  the  good  tidings, 
Carol  merrily  ; 
And  pray  a  gladsome  Christmas 
For  all  good  Christian  men ; 
Carol,  brothers,  carol 
Christmas  day  again. 

Let  our  hearts,  responding 

To  the  seraph  band, 
Wish  this  morning's  sunshine 

Bright  in  every  land ; 
Word,  and  deed,  and  prayer 
Speed  the  grateful  sound, 
Bidding  "Merry  Christmas  " 
All  the  world  around. 
Carol,  brothers,  carol, 
Carol  joyfully, 
Carol  the  good  tidings,

And  pray  a  gladsome  Christmas 
For  all  good  Christian  men ;

Lay  upon  that  Christmas  morn, 

When  the  angels  came  to  tell  us 
That  the  children's  King  was  born. 

2  And  He  lives,  throughout  the  ages, — 

Lives  and  reigns  in  earth  and  sky ; 
Angel  hosts  still  sing  the  glory 

Of  the  children's  King  on  high. 
Yet  He  cares  for  children's  praises : 

So,  with  heart  and  voice  we  ring  ; 
Glory  in  the  highest,  glory 

To  the  Child,  the  children's  King !

In  a  believer's  ear ! 
It  soothes  his  sorrows,  heals  his  wounds, 
And  drives  away  his  fear.

And  calms  the  troubled  breast ; 
'T  is  manna  to  the  hungry  soul, 
And  to  the  weary  rest.

My  Shield  and  Hiding-place ; 
My  never-failing  Treasury,  rilled 
With  boundless  stores  of  grace. 

4  By  Thee  my  prayers  acceptance  gain, 

Although  with  sin  defiled : 
Satan  accuses  me  in  vain, 
And  I  am  owned  a  child. 

5  Weak  is  the  effort  of  my  heart, 

And  cold  my  warmest  thought; 
But,  when  I  see  Thee  as  Thou  art, 
I  '11  praise  Thee  as  I  ought,

THE    NAME    OF    JESUS. 

THERE  is  no  Name  so  sweet  on  earth, 
No  Name  so  sweet  in  heaven,  — 
The  Name  before  His  wondrous  birth 
To  Christ  the  Saviour  given. 
Chorus :  — We  love  to  sing  around  our  King, 
And  hail  Him  blessed  Jesus ; 
|| :  For  there's  no  word  ear  ever  heard 
So  dear,  so  sweet  as  Jesus. :  || 

2  His  human  Name  they  did  proclaim 

When  Abram's  son  they  sealed  Him,— 
The  Name  that  still  by  God's  good  will, 
Deliverer  revealed  Him. 

Chorus :  — We  love  to  sing  around  our  King,  etc 

8  And  when  He  hung  upon  the  tree, 
They  wrote  this  Name  above  Him; 
That  all  might  see  the  reason  we 
For  evermore  must  love  Him. 

Chorus  ;  — We  love  to  sing,  etc. 

4  So  now,  upon  His  Father's  throne, 

Almighty  to  release  us 
From  sin  and  pains,  He  gladly  reigns, 
The  Prince  and  Saviour  Jesus. 

Chorus :  — We  love  to  sing,  etc. 

5  To  Jesus  every  knee  shall  bow, 

And  every  tongue  confess  Him, 
And  we  unite  with  saints  in  light, 
Our  only  Lord  to  bless  Him. 

Chorus  :  — We  love  to  sing,  etc. 

6  0  Jesus,  by  that  matchless  Name, 

Thy  grace  shall  fail  us  never; 
To-day  as  yesterday  the  same, 
Thou  art  the  same  for  ever. 

Chorus;  —  Then  let  us  sing  around  our  King, 
The  faithful,  precious  Jesus,  etc.

Vainly  with  gifts  would  His  favor  secure  ;

Jacob's  star  that  gilds  the  night, 
Guides  bewildered  nature  right. 
Fear  not  hence  that  ill  should  flow, 
Wars  or  pestilence  below ; 
Wars  it  bids  and  tumults  cease, 
Ushering  in  the  Prince  of  Peace. 

2  Mild  He  shines  on  all  beneath, 

Piercing  through  the  shade  of  death; 
Scattering  error's  wide-spread  night, 
Kindling  darkness  into  light. 
Nations  all,  far  off  and  near, 
Haste  to  see  your  God  appear ! 
Haste,  for  Him  your  hearts  prepare, 
Meet  Him  manifested  there.

IN  the  vineyard  of  our  Father, 
Daily  work  we  find  to  do ; 
Scattered  gleanings  we  may  gather, 
Though  we  are  but  young  and  few; 
|| :  Little  clusters  :  || 
Help  to  fill  the  garners,  too, 

2  Toiling  early  in  the  morning, 
Catching  moments  thro'  the  day, 
Nothing  small  or  lowly  scorning, 
So  along  our  path  we  stray  ; 

||  :  Gathering  gladly  :  || 
Free-will  offerings  by  the  way. 

8  Not  for  selfish  praise  or  glory, 
Not  for  objects  nothing  worth, 
But  to  send  the  blessed  story 
Of  the  Gospel  o'er  the  earth, 


||  :  Telling  mortals  :  || 
Of  our  Lord  and  Saviour's  birth. 

Up  and  ever  at  our  calling, 

Till  in  death  our  lips  are  dumb, 

Or  till  —  sin's  dominion  falling — 

Christ  shall  in  His   kingdom 

come; 

||  :  And  His  children  :  || 

Reach  their  everlasting  home. 

Steadfast,  then,  in  our  endeavor, 
Heavenly  Father,  may  we  be ; 

And,  for  ever  and  for  ever, 
We  will  give  the  praise  to  Thee; 

||  :  Hallelujah  !  :  || 
Singing  all  eternally.

HAIL  to  the  Lord's  Anointed, 
Great  David's  greater  Son  ! 
Hail,  in  the  time  appointed, 
His  reign  on  earth  begun. 
He  comes  to  break  oppression, 

To  set  the  captive  free  ; 
To  take  away  transgression, 
And  rule  in  equity. 

He  comes  with  succor  speedy         4 

To  those  who  suffer  wrong; 
To  help  the  poor  and  needy ; 

And  bid  the  weak  be  strong ; 
To  give  them  songs  for  sighing;    j 

Their  darkness  turn  to  light, 
Whose  souls, condemned  &  dying,  j 

Were  precious  in  His  sight. 

153 


He  shall  come  down  like  showers 

Upon  the  fruitful  earth  ; 
And  love,  joy,  hope,  like  flowers, 

Spring  in  His  path  to  birth. 
Before  Him,  on  the  mountains, 

Shall  peace,  the  herald,  go; 
And  righteousness,  in  fountains, 

From  hill  to  valley  flow. 

For  Him  shall  prayer  unceasing 

And  daily  vows  ascend; 
His  kingdom  still  increasing, 

A  kingdom  without  end. 
The  tide  of  time  shall  never 

His  covenant  remove; 
His  Name  shall  stand  for  ever; 

That  Name  to  us  is  Love.

AS  with  gladness  men  of  old 
Did  the  guiding  star  behold ; 
As  with  joy  they  hailed  its  light, 
Leading  onward,  beaming  bright ; 
So,  most  gracious  God,  may  we 
Evermore  be  led  by  Thee, 

As  with  joyful  steps  they  sped 
To  that  lonely  manger-bed, 
There  to  bend  the  knee  before 
Him   whom   heaven    and  earth 

adore ; 
So  may  we  with  willing  feet 
Ever  seek  Thy  mercy -seat. 


3  As  they  offered  gifts  most  rare 
At  that  manger  rude  and  bare ; 
So  may  we,  with  holy  joy, 
Pure,  and  free  from  sin's  alloy, 
All  our  costliest  treasures  bring, 
Christ,    to  Thee,   our  heavenly 

King. 

4  Holy  Jesus !  every  day 
Keep  us  in  the  narrow  way ; 

A  nd,when  earthly  things  are  past, 
Bring  our  ransomed  souls  at  last 
Where  they  need  no  star  to  guide, 
Where  no  clouds  Thy  glory  hide. 


In  the  heavenly  country  bright 
Need  they  no  created  light: 
Thou  its  Light,  its  Joy,  its  Crown, 
Thou  its  Sun  which  goes  not  down ; 
There  for  ever  may  we  sing 
Hallelujahs  to  our  King.

HOW  wondrous  and  great 
Thy  works,  God  of  praise ! 
How  just,  King  of  saints, 
And  true  are  Thy  ways ! 
O  who  shall  not  fear  Thee, 
And  honor  Thy  Name? 
Thou  only  art  holy, 
Thou  only  supreme. 


2  To  nations  long  dark 

Thy  light  shall  be  shown ; 
Their  worship  and  vows 

Shall  come  to  Thy  throne : 
Thy  truth  and  Thy  judgments 

Shall  spread  all  abroad, 
Till  earth's  every  people 

Confess  Thee  their  God.

SAW  ye  never,  in  the  twilight, 
'When  the  sun  had  left  the  skies, 
Up  in  heaven  the  clear  stars  shining, 

Through  the  gloom,  like  silver  eyes? 
So  of  old  the  wise  men,  watching, 

Saw  a  little  stranger  star, 
And  they  knew  the  King  was  given, 
And  they  followed  it  from  far. 

2  Heard  ye  never  of  the  story, 

How  they  crossed  the  desert  wild, 
Journeved  on  bv  plain  and  mountain, 

Till  they  found  the  Holy  Child? 
How  they  opened  all  their  treasure 

Kneeling  to  that  Infant  King, 
Gave  the  gold  and  fragrant  incense, 

Gave  the  myrrh  in  offering  ? 

3  Know  ye  not  that  lowly  Baby 

Was  the  Bright  and  Morning  Star, 
He  who  came  to  light  the  Gentiles 

And  the  darkened  isles  afar? 
And  we  too  may  seek  His  cradle, 

There  our  hearts'  best  treasures  bring, 
Love  and  faith  and  true  devotion, 

For  our  Saviour,  God,  and  King.

THE    CHURCH    YEAR: 

FROM  Greenland's  icy  mountains, 
From  India's  coral  strand ; 
Where  Afric's  sunny  fountains 
Roll  down  their  golden  sand; 
From  many  an  ancient  river, 
From  many  a  palmy  plain, 
They  call  us  to  deliver 

Their  land  from  error's  chain. 

2  What  though  the  spicy  breezes 

Blow  soft  o'er  Ceylon's  isle ; 
Though  every  prospect  pleases, 

And  only  man  is  vile : 
In  vain  with  lavish  kindness 

The  gifts  of  God  are  strown : 
The  heathen  in  his  blindness, 

Bows  down  to  wood  and  stone. 

3  Shall  we,  whose  souls  are  lighted 

With  wisdom  from  on  high, 
Shall  we  to  men  benighted 

The  lamp  of  life  deny? 
Salvation,  O  salvation! 

The  joyful  sound  proclaim, 
Till  each  remotest  nation 

Has  learned  Messiah's  Name. 

4  Waft,  waft,  ye  winds,  His  story, 

And  you,  ye  waters,  roll, 
Till,  like  a  sea  of  glory, 

It  spreads  from  pole  to  pole; 
Till  o'er  our  ransomed  nature 

The  Lamb  for  sinners  slain, 
Redeemer,  King,  Creator, 

In  bliss  returns  to  reign.

That  fountain  in  his  day ; 
And  there  may  I,  as  vile  as  he, 
Wash  all  my  sins  away ! 

3  Dear  dying  Lamb,  Thy  precious  Blood 

Shall  never  lose  its  power, 
Till  all  the  ransomed  Church  of  God 
Be  saved,  to  sin  no  more. 

4  Lord,  I  believe  Thou  hast  prepared 

(Unworthy  though  I  be) 
For  me  a  blood-bought  free  reward, 
A  golden  harp  for  me ! 

5  ;T  is  strung  and  tuned  for  endless  years, 

And  formed  by  power  divine 
To  sound  in  God  the  Father's  ears 
No  other  name  but  Thine.

Laden  with  guilt  and  misery, 
Where  could  we  rest  beside?

Our  weary  souls  alone  can  rest.

The  Father  rests  in  Thee, 
And  in  the  favor  of  that  blood 
Once  shed  on  Calvary,

IX  the  Cross  of  Christ  I  glory, 
Towering  o'er  the  wrecks  of  time ; 
All  the  light  of  sacred  story- 
Gathers  round  its  head  sublime. 

2  "When  the  woes  of  life  o'ertake  me, 

Hopes  deceive,  and  fears  annoy, 
Never  shall  the  Cross  forsake  me  ; 
Lo  !  it  glows  with  peace  and  joy. 

3  When  the  sun  of  bliss  is  beaming 

Light  and  love  upon  my  way, 
From  the  Cross  the  radiance  streaming 
Adds  new  lustre  to  the  day. 

4  Bane  and  blessing,  pain  and  pleasure, 

By  the  Cross  are  sanctified  ; 
Peace  is  there  that  knows  no  measure, 
Joys  that  through  all  time  abide.

ROCK  of  Ages,  cleft  for  me, 
Let  me  hide  myself  in  Thee! 
Let  the  Water  and  the  Blood, 
From  Thy  riven  side  which  flow'd, 
Be  of  sin  the  perfect  cure, 
Save  me,  Lord,  and  make  me  pure. 

Not  the  labors  of  my  hands 
Can  fulfil  Thy  Law's  demands : 
Could  my  zeal  no  respite  know, 
Could  my  tears  for  ever  flow, 
All  for  sin  could  not  atone: 
Thou  must  save,  and  Thou  alone ! 

Second  Tune. 


Nothing  in  my  hand  I  bring, 
Simply  to  Thy  Cross  I  cling  ; 
Naked,  come  to  Thee  for  dress ; 
Helpless,  look  to  Thee  for  grace; 
Foul,  I  to  the  Fountain  fly ; 
Wash  me,  Saviour,  or  I  die ! 

While  I  draw  this  fleeting  breath, 
When  my  eyelids  close  in  death, 
When  I  soar  to  worlds  unknown, 
See  Thee  onThy  judgment  throne, 
Kock  of  Ages,  cleft  for  me, 
Let  me  hide  myself  in  Thee  I

Grace  to  cover  all  my  sin;  [found, 
Let  the  healing  streams  abound ;

Freely  let  me  take  of  Thee :

CRUCIFIX. 


I  LAY  my  sins  on  Jesus, 
The  spotless  Lamb  of  God ; 
He  bears  them  all,  and  frees  us 

From  the  accursed  load. 
I  bring  my  guilt  to  Jesus, 

To  wash  my  crimson  stains 
White,  in  His  Blood  so  precious, 
Till  not  a  spot  remains. 

2  I  lay  my  wants  on  Jesus ; 

All  fulness  dwells  in  Him; 
He  heals  all  my  diseases, 

He  doth  my  soul  redeem. 
I  lay  my  griefs  on  Jesus, 

My  burdens  and  my  cares ; 
He  from  them  all  releases, 

He  all  my  sorrows  shares. 

3  I  long  to  be  like  Jesus, 

Meek,  loving,  lowly,  mild; 
I  long  to  be  like  Jesus, 

The  Father's  holy  child. 
I  long  to  be  with  Jesus, 

Amid  the  heavenly  throng, 
To  sing  with  saints  His  praises, 

To  learn  the  angels'  song,

WHEN,  His  salvation  bring- 
To  Zion  Jesus  came,  [ing, 
The  children  all  stood  singing 

Hosanna  to  His  Name. 
Nor  did  their  zeal  offend  Him, 

But,  as  He  rode  along,  3 

He  let  them  still  attend  Him, 
And  smiled  to  hear  their  song, 

!  And  since  the  Lord  retaineth 
His  love  for  children  still, 
Though  now  as  King  He  reigneth 
On  Zion's  heavenly  hill ; 

15  1P2 


We  '11  flock  around  His  banner, 
Who  sits  upon  the  throne, 

And  cry  aloud,  Hosanna 
To  David's  royal  Son. 

For  should  we  fail  proclaiming 

Our  great  Redeemer's  praise, 
The  stones,  our  silence  shaming, 

Would  their  Hosannas  raise, 
But  shall  we  only  render 

The  tribute  of  our  words? 
No ;  while  our  hearts  are  tender, 

They,  too,  shall  be  the  Lord's.

OTHOU  who  through  this  holy  week 
Didst  suffer  for  us  all ; 
The  sick  to  cure,  the  lost  to  seek, 
To  raise  up  them  that  fall : 

2  We  cannot  understand  the  woe 

Thy  Love  was  pleased  to  bear: 
O  Lamb  of  God,  we  only  know 
That  all  our  hopes  are  there ! 

3  Thy  feet  the  path  of  suffering  trod; 

Thy  hand  the  victory  won  : 
What  shall  we  render  to  our  God 
For  all  that  He  hath  done? 

4  To  God  the  Father,  God  the  Son, 

And  God  the  Holy  Ghost, 
By  men  on  earth  be  honor  done, 
And  by  the  heavenly  host.

THOU  soft-flowing  Kedron,  by  thy  silver  stream, 
Our  Saviour  at  midnight,  when  Cinthia's  pale  beam 
Shone  bright  on  the  waters,  would  oftentimes  stray, 
And  lose  in  thy  murmurs  the  toils  of  the  day. 
Chorus:  —  Come,  saints,  and  adore  Him  ;  come,  bow  at  His  feet! 
O  give  Him  the  glory,  the  praise  that  is  meet ; 
Let  joyful  hosannas  unceasing  arise, 
And  join  the  full  chorus  that  gladdens  the  skies. 

2  How  damp  wTere  the  vapors  that  fell  on  His  head ! 
How  hard  was  His  pillow,  how  humble  His  bed !

And  followed  their  Master  with  solemn  delight.

Thou  Lamb  of  Calvary, 
Saviour  divine ; 
Now  hear  me  while  I  pray ; 
Take  all  my  guilt  away ; 
Oh,  let  me  from  this  day 
Be  wholly  Thine. 

2  May  Thy  rich  grace  impart 
Strength  to  my  fainting  heart, 

My  zeal  inspire; 
As  Thou  hast  died  for  me, 
Oh,  may  my  love  to  Thee 
Pure,  warm  and  changeless  be, 

A  living  fire. 


While  life's  dark  maze  I  tread, 
And  griefs  around  me  spread, 

Be  Thou  my  Guide  ; 
Bid  darkness  turn  to  day, 
Wipe  sorrow's  tears  away, 
Nor  let  me  ever  stray 

From  Thee  aside. 

When  ends  life's  transient  dream, 
When  death's  cold  sullen  stream 

Shall  o'er  me  roll  ; 
Blest  Saviour,  then,  in  love, 
Fear  and  distrust  remove; 
Oh,  bear  me  safe  above  —

ALAS !  and  did  iny  Saviour  bleed, 
And  did  my  Sovereign  die? 
Would  He  devote  that  sacred  Head 
For  such  a  worm  as  I  ? 

2  Was  it  for  crimes  that  I  had  done, 

He  groaned  upon  the  tree? 

Amazing  pity  !  grace  unknown ! 

And  Love  beyond  degree ! 

3  Well  might  the  sun  in  darkness  hide, 

And  shut  his  glories  in, 
When  Christ  the  mighty  Maker  died 
For  man  the  creature's  sin  ! 

4  Thus  might  I  hide  my  blushing  face, 

While  His  dear  cross  appears ; 
Dissolve  my  heart  in  thankfulness, 
And  melt  my  eyes  in  tears. 

5  But  drops  of  grief  can  ne'er  repay 

The  debt  of  love  I  owe. 
Here,  Lord,  I  give  myself  away : 
;T  is  all  that  I  can  do.

HOLY    WEEK. 


What  language  shall  I  borrow 

To  thank  Thee,  dearest  Friend, 
For  this  Thy  dying  sorrow, 

Thy  pity  without  end ! 
O  make  me  Thine  for  ever, 

And  should  I  fainting  be, 
Lord,  let  me  never,  never, 

Outlive  my  love  to  Thee. 


5  Forbid  that  I  should  leave  Thee ; 
O  Jesus,  leave  not  me; 
In  faith  may  I  receive  Thee, 

When  death  shall  set  me  free. 
When  strength  and  comfort  lan- 
guish, 
And  I  must  hence  depart, 
Release  me  then  from  anguish 
By  Thine  own  wounded  heart.

JESUS,  Thy  soul,  for  ever  blest, 
Hath  gone  among  the  dead, 
And  to  his  peaceful  place  of  rest 
The  dying  thief  hath  led. 

2  And  all  for  us  ;  that  when,  ere  long, 
We  shall  resign  our  breath, 
We  may  not  fear  to  go  among 
The  unseen  shades  of  death. 

8  In  deaths  dark  vale  I  soon  must  be, 
But  I  will  nothing  fear; 
Thy  rod  and  staff  will  comfort  me; 
Thou  hast  Thyself  been  there,

ALL  is  o'er,  the  pain,  the  sorrow, 
Human  taunts  and  Satan's  spite ; 
Death  shall  be  despoiled  to-morrow 

Of  the  prey  he  grasps  to-night; 
Yet  once  more,  to  seal  his  doom, 
Christ  must  sleep  within  the  tomb. 
Fierce  and  deadly  was  the  anguish 

Which  on  yonder  Cross  He  bore ; 
How  did  soul  and  body  languish 

Till  the  toil  of  death  was  o'er ! 
But  that  toil,  so  fierce  and  dread, 
Bruised  and  crushed  the  serpent's  head. 
Close  and  still  the  grave  that  holds  Him, 

While  in  brief  repose  He  lies: 
Deep  the  slumber  that  enfolds  Him, 

Veiled  awhile  from  mortal  eyes; 
Slumber  such  as  needs  must  be 
After  hard-won  victory. 
We  this  night  with  plaintive  voicing 

Chant  His  requiem  soft  and  low; 
Loftier  strains  of  loud  rejoicing 

From  to-morrow's  harp  shall  flow : 
Death  and  hell  at  length  are  slain, 
Christ  hath  triumphed,  Christ  doth  reign.

The  Passover  of  gladness, 

The  Passover  of  God ! 
From  death  to  Life  eternal, 
From  earth  unto  the  sky, 
Our  Christ  hath  brought  us  over, 
With  hymns  of  victory. 

2  Our  hearts  be  pure  from  evil, 
That  we  may  see  aright 
The  Lord  in  rays  eternal 
Of  Resurrection  light :

And  listening  to  His  accents, 
May  hear,  so  calm  and  plain, 

His  own  All  hail !  —  and  hearing, 
May  raise  the  victor  strain. 

Now  let  the  heavens  be  joyful ! 

Let  earth  her  song  begin  ! 
Let  all  the  world  keep  triumph, 

And  all  that  is  therein : 
In  grateful  exultation 

Their  notes  let  all  things  blend, 
For  Christ  the  Lord  hath  risen, 

Our  Joy  that  hath  no  end.

fl  For  this  Tune,  add  Halleluia  to  the  end  of  each  line  of  the  Hymn, 

CHRIST  the  Lord  is  risen  to-day, 
Sons  of  men  and  angels  say. 
Baise  your  joys  and  triumphs  high ; 
Sing,  ye  heavens,  and  earth  reply. 
2  Love's  redeeming  work  is  done, 
Fought  the  fight,  the  battle  won ; 
Lo!  the  Sun's  eclipse  is  o'er; 
Lo !  He  sets  in  blood  no  more. 
8  Vain  the  stone,  the  watch,  the  seal ; 
Christ  has  burst  the  gates  of  hell ! 
Death  in  vain  forbids  His  rise ; 
Christ  hath  opened  Paradise.

THE    CHURCH    YEAR: 

4  Lives  again  our  glorious  King ; 
Where,  0  Death,  is  now  Thy  sting? 
Dying  once,  He  all  doth  save ; 
Where  thy  victory,  O  Grave? 

5  Soar  we  now  where  Christ  has  led, 
Following  our  exalted  Head : 
Made  like  Him,  like  Him  we  rise ; 
Ours  the  cross,  the  grave,  the  skies ! 

6  Hail,  the  Lord  of  earth  and  heaven ! 
Praise  to  Thee  by  both  be  given : 
Thee  we  greet  triumphant  now; 
Hail,  the  Eesurrection  Thou !

The  victory  is  ours  ; 
And  hell  is  overcome 

By  Christ's  triumphant  powers. 
The  monster  sin  in  chains  is  bound, 
And  death  has  felt  his  mortal  wound.

Behold  the  trophy  blaze :

That  pours  its  streaming  rays, 


To  mark  the  path  where  Jesus  trod, 
And   upward  guide  our  steps  to

And    shout    aloud    the   Saviours

Weary  fast  and  vigil  keeping, 
Brightly  breaks  their  Easter  sun; 

Blood  can  wash  all  sins  away, 

Christ  has  conquered  hell  to-day. 


3  Come,  with  high  and  holy  glad- 

ness, 
Chant  our  Lord's  triumphant 
lay; 
Not  one  touch  of  twilight  sadness 

Dims  His  Besurrecrion  Day  ; 
Brightly  dawns  the  radiant  East, 
Brighter  far  our  Easter  Feast. 

4  He  is  risen  !  He  is  risen ! 

He  has  ope'd  the  eternal  gate; 
We  are  free  from  sin?s  dark  prison, 

Risen  to  a  holier  state ; 
Soon  a  brighter  Easter  beam 
On  our  longing  eyes  shall  stream.

For  the  foe  never  more 
Can  approach  to  the  shore 
Where  the  conflict  is  o'er: 

There  is  joy  supernal, 

There  is  life  eternal : 
Sing  of  peace,  peace,  peace ; 

Earth  and  skies     Bid  it  rise, 
Glory  in  the  highest.     Amen. 
Then  be  brave,  then  be  true, 
Ye  despised  and  ye  few, 
For  the  crown  is  for  you  ; 

Christ,  that  went  before  you, 

Spreads  His  buckler  o'er  you; 
Sing  of  hope,  hope,  hope ; 

And  to-day     Raise  the  lay, 
Glory  in  the  highest    Amen. 


LET  the  song  be  begun, 
For  the  battle  is  done, 

And  the  victory  won, 
And  the  foe  is  scattered, 
And  the  prison  shattered  : 

Sing  of  joy,  joy,  joy, 

And  to-day     Raise  the  lay, 

Glory  in  the  highest.     Amen. 
2  They  that  followed  in  pain 

Shall  now  follow  to  rei^n, 

And  the  crown  shall  obtain  : 
They  were  sore  assaulted, 
They  shall  be  exalted : 

Sing  of  rest,  rest,  rest ; 

And  again     Pour  the  strain, 

Glory  in  the  highest.     Amen.

DAY  of  wonder,  day  of  glad- 
ness, 
Hail  thy  ever-glorious  light ! 
Gone  is  sorrow,  gone  is  sadness, 

Ended  is  the  gloomy  night ! 
Listen  to  the  angel's  story, — 

Cast  away  all  dark  and  dread ; 
Give  to  God  the  Father  glory ! 
"Christ    is     risen    from    the 
dead ! " 

In  the  triumph  of  this  hour, 
Jubilant  shall  swell  the  song; 

Unto  Jesus,  honor,  power, 
Blessing,  victory  belong.

Scattered  are  the  clouds  of  error, 
Sin  and  hell  are  captive  led : 

E'en  the  grave  is  free  from  terror, 
"Christ  is  risen  from  the  dead  V9 

Every  people,  every  nation, 

Soon  shall  hear  the  gladsome 
sound ; 
Joyous  tidings  of  salvation, 

Borne     to     earth's    remotest 
bound. 
Then  shall  rise,  in  tones  excelling, 

Praise  for  grace  so  freely  shed  ; 
And  the  Easter  hymn  be  swelling, 

"Christ  is  risen  from  the  dead  i"

2  The  stone  is  rolled  away  from  the  door, 
And  the  open  grave  shall  for  evermore 
Tell  of  Life  and  victory  won. 
Underneath  the  sealed  stone, 

There  Christ,  the  Life,  with  Death  hath  fought, 
And  His  own  arm  deliverance  wrought. 

3  The  stone  is  rolled  away  from  the  door, 
And  heavenly  Angels  clothed  with  power 
Bid  the  mourners  dry  their  tears  ; 

Bid  the  fearful  cease  their  fears  ; 

"  Your  Master  is  not  here,"  they  say  ; 

"  Come  see  the  place  where  Jesus  lay." 

4  Go  forth  with  Cephas,  James,  and  John, 
With  the  faithful  Maries  haste  ye  on; 
Tell  ye  all  that,  as  He  said, 

Christ  is  risen  from  the  dead ! 
Till  far  and  wide,  by  every  tongue, 
The  gladsome  Easter  song  be  sung. 

5  The  stone  from  the  door  is  rolled  away, 
Let  us  all  rejoice  on  Easter  day, 
Alleluias  let  us  sing; 

Death  for  us  has  lost  its  sting : 
Jesus  our  Lord,  to  mourning  hearts, 
Life,  pardon,  victory  imparts.

Vanquisher  of  darkness,  bring  their  praise  to  Thee! 

Welcome,  happy  morning ! "  age  to  age  shall  say.

All  that  now  is  fallen  raise  to  life  again ; 

Show  Thy  Face  in  brightness,  bid  the  nations  see, 
Bring  again  our  daylight :  day  returns  with  Thee ! 

Hell  to-day  is  vanquished,  Heaven  is  won  to-day !

Day  of  triumph  through  the  skies, 
See  the  glorious  Saviour  rise.

See  the  place  where  Jesus  lay  I

Let  the  birds  sing  out  again 

From  their  leafy  chapel, 
Praising  Him  with  Whom  in  vain 

Satan  sought  to  grapple. 
Sounds  of  joy  come  fast  and  clear, 

As  the  breezes  flutter ; 
"  He  is  risen  ;  He  is  not  here/' 

Is  the  strain  they  utter.

Let  the  past  of  grief  be  past; 

This  our  comfort  giveth, 
He  was  slain  on  Friday  last, 

But  to-day  He  liveth  ! 
Mourning  hearts  must  needs  be  gay, 

Joy  now  breaks  her  prison, 
Since  the  very  grave  can  say, 

"  He's  not  here,  He's  risen."

HAIL  the  day  that  sees  Him  rise, 
Glorious,  to  His  native  skies ! 
Christ,  awhile  to  mortals  given, 
|| :  Reascends  His  native  heaven.  :|| 

2  Him  though  highest  heaven  receives, 
Still  He  loves  the  earth  He  leaves; 
Though  returning  to  His  throne, 
Still  He  calls  mankind  His  own. 

3  See,  He  lifts  His  hands  above  ! 
See,  He  shows  the  prints  of  love ! 
Hark,  His  gracious  lips  bestow 
Blessings  on  His  Church  below ! 

4  Still  for  us  His  Death  He  pleads ; 
Prevalent,  He  intercedes : 

Near  Himself  prepares  our  place, 
Harbinger  of  human  race.

COME,  O  come,  Thou  quickening  Spirit, 
Thou  for  ever  art  divine : 
Let  Thy  power  never  fail  me, 

Always  fill  this  heart  of  mine ; 
Thus  shall  grace,  and  truth,  and  light 
Dissipate  the  gloom  of  night. 

2  Grant  my  mind  and  my  affections 

Wisdom,  counsel,  purity; 
That  I  may  be  ever  seeking 

Naught  but  that  which  pleases  Thee. 
Let  Thy  knowledge  spread  and  grow, 
Working  error's  overthrow. 

3  Lead  me  to  green  pastures,  lead  me 

By  the  true  and  living  way, 
Shield  me  from  each  strong  temptation 

That  might  draw  my  heart  astray; 
And  if  e'er  my  feet  should  turn, 
For  each  error  let  me  mourn. 

4  Holy  Spirit,  strong  and  mighty, 

Thou  who  makest  all  things  new, 
Make  Thy  work  within  me  perfect, 

Help  me  by  Thy  Word  so  true, 
Arm  me  with  that  Sword  of  Thine, 
And  the  victory  shall  be  mine.

WHITSUNTIDE, 

Veni  Sancte  Spiritus. 

HOLY  Spirit,  Lord  of  Light, 
From  Thy  clear  celestial  height, 
Thy  pure  beaming  radiance  give ; 
Come,  Thou  Father  of  the  poor ! 
Come  with  treasures  which  endure ! 
Come,  Thou  Light  of  all  that  live ! 

2  Thou,  of  all  consolers  best, 
Visiting  the  troubled  breast, 

Dost  refreshing  peace  bestow: 
Thou  in  toil  art  comfort  swreet, 
Pleasant  coolness  in  the  heat, 
Solace  in  the  midst  of  wroe. 

8  Light  immortal !  Light  divine! 
Visit  Thou  these  hearts  of  Thine, 

And  our  inmost  being  fill  : 
If  Thou  take  Thy  grace  away, 
Nothing  pure  in  man  will  stay; 
All  his  good  is  turned  to  ill. 

4  Heal  our  wTounds,  our  strength  renews 
On  our  dryness  pour  Thy  dew; 

Wash  the  stains  of  guilt  away : 
Bend  the  stubborn  neart  and  will; 
Melt  the  frozen,  warm  the  chill; 
Guide  the  steps  that  go  astray. 

(>  Thou,  on  those  wrho  evermore 
Thee  confess  and  Thee  adore, 

In  Thy  sevenfold  gifts,  descend ; 
Give  them  comfort  when  they  die, 
Give  them  life  with  Thee  on  high, 

Give  them  joys  which  never  end, 

Doxology. 

Praise  and  glory  be  to  Thee, 
Spirit  of  Eternity, 

With  the  Father  and  the  Son ; 
Praise,  as  in  the  ages  past, 
Praise,  as  shall  for  ever  last, 

To  the  Holy  Three  in  One.

SING  your  carols  to-day, 
And  your  gladsomest  lay, 
To  the  Paraclete  pay  — 
Now  to  mortals  given, 
Now  sent  down  from  heaven ; 
Sing  of  joy,  joy,  joy, 

And  to-day  raise  the  lay, 
Glory  be  to  Thee,  O  Lord, 

our  Gob. 
Death  and  hell  overcome, 
Easter  morn,  from  the  tomb 
Jesus  chased  all  the  gloom, — 
Ope'd  the  prison  portals  — 
Freedom  brought  to  mortals. 
Sing  of  life,  life,  life, 

And  the  strain  raise  again, 
Glory  be  to  Thee,  O  Lord, 
our  God. 


Forty  days  more  with  men 

Did  the  Lord  live  again, 

Blessed  rites  to  ordain, 

And  His  Kingdom  founded, 
By  the  round  world  bounded. 

Sing  of  joy,  joy,  joy, 
Till  it  rise  to  the  skies, 

Glory  be  to  Thee,  O  Lord, 
our  God. 

Risen,  never  to  die, 

Having  gone  up  on  high 

To  His  Throne  in  the  sky, 
He  sent  His  Spirit  Holy, 
To  bless  His  people  solely. 

Sing  of  joy,  joy,  joy, 

Praise  His  Name  with  acclaim, 

Glory  be  to  Thee,  O  Lord, 
our  God.

Him  adore,  evermore, 
Glory  be  to  Thee,  O  Lord,

And  that  shall  kindle  ours.

Chorus:  —  Hallelujah,  Hallelujah,  Hallelujah.    Amen.

HOLY  GHOST,  with  light  divine, 
Shine  upon  this  heart  of  mine ! 
Chase  the  shades  of  night  away, 
Turn  the  darkness  into  day.

Let  me  all  His  beauties  trace ; 
Show  those  glorious  truths  to  me, 
Which  are  only  known  to  Thee. 

3  Holy  Ghost,  with  power  divine, 
Cleanse  this  guilty  heart  of  mine : 
In  Thy  mercy  pity  me, 

From  sin's  bondage  set  me  free. 

4  Holy  Ghost,  with  joy  divine, 
Cheer  this  saddened  heart  of  mine; 
Yield  a  sacred,  settled  peace, 

Let  it  grow  and  still  increase. 

5  Holy  Spirit,  all  divine, 

Dwell  within  this  heart  of  mine; 
Cast  down  every  idol  throne, 
Reign  supreme,  and  reign  alone. 

6  See,  to  Thee  I  yield  my  heart  ; 
Shed  Thy  life  through  every  part. 
A  pure  temple  I  would  be, 
Wholly  dedicate  to  Thee.

HOLY,  Holy,  Holy,  Lord  God  Almighty! 
Early  in  the  morning  our  song  shall  rise  to  Thee : 
Holy,  Holy,  Holy,  merciful  and  mighty; 
God  in  Three  Persons,  Blessed  Trinity ! 

2  Holy,  Holy,  Holy !  all  the  saints  adore  Thee, 

Casting  down  their  golden  crowns  around  the  glassy  sea; 
Cherubim  and  Seraphim  falling  down  before  Thee, 
Which  wert,  and  art,  and  evermore  shalt  be. 

3  Holy,  Holy,  Holy !  though  the  darkness  hide  Thee, 
Though  the  eye  of  sinful  man  Thy  glory  may  not  see, 
Only  Thou  art  holy :  there  is  none  beside  Thee 

Perfect  in  power,  in  love,  and  purity. 

4  Holy,  Holy,  Holy,  Lord  God  Almighty  ! 

All  Thy  works  shall  praise  Thy  Name,  in  earth,  and  sky,  and 
Holy,  Holy,  Holy !  merciful  and  mighty ; 
God  in  Three  Persons,  Blessed  Trinity!

ZION  stands  with  hills  surrounded ; 
Zion  kept  by  power  divine ; 
All  h*er  foes  shall  be  confounded, 
Though  the  world  in  arms  combine. 

Happy  Zion, 
What  a  favored  lot  is  thine ! 

2  Every  human  tie  may  perish  ; 

Friend  to  friend  unfaithful  prove; 

Mothers  cease  their  own  to  cherish ; 

Heaven  and  earth  at  last  remove : 

But  no  changes 
Can  attend  Jehovah's  love. 


3  In  the  furnace  God  may  prove  thee, 

Thence  to  bring  thee  forth  more  bright, 
But  can  never  cease  to  love  thee ;

THE  Church's  one  foundation    3 
Is  Jesus  Christ  her  Lord ; 
She  is  His  new  creation 

By  water  and  the  Word  ; 
From     heaven    He    came     and 
sought  her 
To  be  His  holy  Bride, 
With  His  own  blood  He  bought 
And  for  her  life  He  died,  [her, 
Elect  from  every  nation,  4 

Yet  one  o'er  all  the  earth, 
Her  charter  of  salvation 

One  Lord,  one  Faith,  one  Birth : 
One  holy  Xame  she  blesses, 
Partakes  one  holy  Food, 
And  to  one  Hope  she  presses, 
With  every  grace  endued. 

223 


Though  with  a  scornful  wonder 

Men  see  her  sore  opprest, 
By  schisms  rent  asunder, 

By  heresies  distrest, 
Yet  saints  their  watch  are  keep- 
ing, 

Their  cry  goes  up, "  How  long?'' 
And  soon  the  night  of  weeping 

Shall  be  the  morn  of  song. 
Mid  toil,  and  tribulation, 

And  tumult  of  her  war, 
She  waits  the  consummation 

Of  peace  for  evermore ; 
Till  with  the  vision  glorious 

Her  longing  eyes  are  blest, 
And  the  great  Church  victorious 

Shall  be  the  Church  at  rest.

A  MIGHTY   Fortress   is   our 
God, 
A  trusty  Shield  and  Weapon  ; 
He  helps  us  free  from  every  need 
That  hath  us  now  o'ertaken. 
The  old  bitter  foe 
Means  us  deadly  woe : 
Deep  guile  and  great  might 
Are  his  dread  arms  in  fight, 
On  earth  is  not  his  equal. 

224 


With  might  of  ours  can  naught 
be  done, 
Soon  were  our  loss  effected ; 
But  for  us  fights  the  Valiant  One 
Whom  God  Himself  elected. 
Ask  ye,  Who  is  this? 
Jesus  Christ  it  is, 
Of  Sabaoth  Lord, 
And  there's  none  other  God, 
He  holds  the  field  for  ever.

Tho'  devils  all  the  world  should 
fill, 
All  watching  to  devour  us, 
We  tremble  not,  we  fear  no  ill, 
They  cannot  overpower  us. 
This  world's  prince  may  still 
Scowl  fierce  as  he  will, 
He  can  harm  us  none, 
He 's  judged,  the  deed  is  done, 
One  little  word  o'erthrows  him. 


4  The  Word  they  still  shall  let  re- 
main, 
And  not  a  thank  have  for  it, 
He 's  by  our  side  upon  the  plain> 
With  His  good  gifts  and  Spirit, 
Take  they  then  our  life, 
Goods,  fame,  child  and  wife; 
When  their  v*Torst  is  done, 
They  yet  have  nothing  won, 
The  Kingdom  ours  remaineth.

GLORIOUS  things  of  thee  are  spoken, 
Zion,  City  of  our  God ; 
He,  whose  word  cannot  be  broken, 
Formed  thee  for  His  own  abode. 
On  the  Rock  of  Ages  founded, 

What  can  shake  thy  sure  repose? 

With  salvation's  walls  surrounded, 

Thou  may'st  smile  at  all  thy  foes. 

2  See  the  streams  of  living  waters, 

Springing  from  eternal  love, 
Well  supply  thy  sons  and  daughters, 

And  all  fear  of  want  remove. 
Who  can  faint  while  such  a  river 

Ever  flows  their  thirst  to  assuage? 
Grace,  which,  like  the  Lord,  the  Giver, 

Never  fails  from  age  to  age. 

8  Saviour,  if  of  Zion's  city 

I,  through  grace,  a  member  am, 
Let  the  world  deride  or  pity, 
I  will  glory  in  Thy  Name. 
Fading  is  the  worldling's  pleasure, 
All  his  boasted  pomp  and  show ; 
Solid  joys  and  lasting  treasure 
None  but  Zion's  children  know.

Shall  call  me  to  His  own.

Of  hearts  that  loved  her  to  the  death — 

The  great,  the  wise,  the  good. 
Our  martyred  sires  defied  the  fires 

For  Christ  the  crucified ; 
The  once  delivered  Faith  to  keep, 

They  burned,  they  bled,  they  died. 

5  My  Church !  my  Church !   I  love  my  Church, 

For  she  exalts  my  Lord! 
She  speaks,  she  breathes,  she  teaches  not, 

But  from  His  written  Word. 
And  if  her  voice  bids  me  rejoice, 

From  all  my  sins  released; 
'Tis  through  the  atoning  sacrifice, 

And  Jesus  is  the  Priest. 

6  My  Church !  my  Church !  I  love  my  Church, 

For  she  doth  lead  me  on 
To  Zion's  Palace  Beautiful, 

Where  Christ  my  Lord  hath  gone. 
From  all  below,  she  bids  me  go, 

To  Him,  the  Life,  the  Way, 
The  Truth  to  guide  my  erring  feet 

From  darkness  into  day. 

7  Then  here,  my  Church!  my  dear  old  Church! 

Thy  child  would  add  a  vow, 
To  that  whose  token  once  was  signed 

Upon  his  infant  brow  :  — 
Assault  who  may,  kiss  and  betray, 

Dishonor  and  disown,

Son,     and     Holy  :  4  Gracious    God, 
spoken 


FATHER, 
Spirit, 
I  ?m  baptized  in  Thy  dear  Name  ; 
In  the  seed  Thou  dost  inherit, 
With   the  people   Thou    dost 
claim, 
I  am  reckoned ; 
And  for  me  the  Saviour  came. 

2  Thou  receivest  me,  0  Father, 
As  a  child  and  heir  of  Thine ; 
Jesus,    Thou    who    diedst,   yea, 
rather 
Ever  livest,  Thou  art  mine. 

Thou,  O  Spirit, 
Art  my  Guide,  my  light   di- 
vine. 


all    Thou    hast 
take 


In   this   covenant    shall 
place ; 
But  if  I,  alas!  have  broken 
These  my  vows,  hide  not  Thy 
face  ; 

And  from  falling 
0  restore  me  by  Thy  grace ! 

Lord,  to  Thee  I  now  surrender 

All  I  have,  and  all  I  am  ; 
Make  my  heart  more  true  and 
tender, 
Glorify  in  me  Thy  Name. 
Let  obedience 
To  Thy  will  be  all  my  aim. 

3  I  have  pledged,  and  would  not   6  Help  me  in  this  high  endeavor, 


falter, 
Truth,  obedience,  love  to  Thee ; 
I  have  vows  upon  Thine  altar, 
Ever  Thine  alone  to  be  ; 

And  for  ever 
Sin  and  all  its  lusts  to  flea 

235 


Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Ghost ! 
Bind  my  heart  to  Thee  for  ever, 
Till  I  join  the  heavenly  host. 

Living,  dying, 
Let   me   make    in    Thee    my 
boast.

BLESSED  Saviour,  who  bast  taught  me 
I  should  live  to  Thee  alone ; 
All  these  years  Thy  hand  hath  brought  me, 

Since  I  first  was  made  Thine  own. 
At  the  Font  my  vows  were  spoken 

By  my  parents  in  the  Lord; 
That  my  vows  shall  be  unbroken, 
At  the  Altar  I  record. 

2  I  would  trust  in  Thy  protecting, 

Wholly  rest  upon  Thine  arm ; 
Follow  wholly  Thy  directing, 

O  my  only  Guard  from  harm ! 
Meet  me  now  with  Thy  salvation, 

In  Thy  Church's  ordered  way ; 
Let  me  feel  Thy  Confirmation 

In  Thy  truth  and  fear  to-day : 

3  So  that  might,  and  firmness  gaining, 

Hope  in  danger,  joy  in  grief, 
Now  and  evermore  remaining 
In  the  catholic  belief,

CONFIRMATION. 

Resting  in  my  Saviour's  merit, 

Strengthened  with  the  Spirit's  strength, 
With  Thy  Church  I  may  inherit 

All  my  Father's  joy  at  length.

GOME,  my  soul,  thy  suit  prepare, 
Jesus  loves  to  answer  prayer : 
He  Himself  has  bid  thee  pray, 
Therefore  will  not  say  thee  nay. 

2  Thou  art  coming  to  a  King ; 
Large  petitions  with  thee  bring ; 
For  His  grace  and  power  are  such, 
None  can  ever  ask  too  much. 

3  With  my  burden  I  begin  ; 
Lord,  remove  this  load  of  sin ! 

■"Let  Thy  Blood,  for  sinners  spilt, 
Set  my  conscience  free  from  guilt. 

4  Lord,  I  come  to  Thee  for  rest ! 
Take  possession  of  my  breast ; 

There  Thy  blood-bought  right  maintain, 
And  without  a  rival  reign. 

5  While  I  am  a  pilgrim  here, 
Let  Thy  love  my  spirit  cheer  ; 

As  my  Guide,  my  Guard,  my  Friend, 
Lead  me  to  my  journey's  end.

Since  He  is  mine,  and  I  am  His, 
What  can  I  want  beside  ?

Where  heavenly  pasture  grows, 
Where  living  waters  gently  pass, 
And  full  salvation  flows.

He  doth  my  soul  reclaim, 
And  guides  me  in  His  own  right  way, 
For  His  most  holy  Name. 

4  While  He  affords  His  aid, 

I  cannot  yield  to  fear : 
Though  I  should  walk  through  death's  dark  shade, 
My  Shepherd 's  with  me  there. 

5  The  bounties  of  Thy  love 

Shall  crown  my  following  days ; 
Nor  from  Thy  house  will  I  remove, 
Nor  cease  to  speak  Thy  praise.

WHEN  little  Samuel  woke, 
And   heard   his   Maker's 
voice, 
At  every  word  He  spoke, 

How  much  did  he  rejoice  ! 
O,  blessed,  happy  child!  to  find 
The  God  of  heaven  so  near  and 
kind. 

2  If  God  would  speak  to  me, 
And  say  He  was  my  Friend, 
How  happy  I  should  be ! 
O,  how  I  would  attend ! 
The  smallest  sin  I  then  would  fear, 
If  God  Almighty  were  so  near. 


And  does  He  never  speak? 

0  yes;  for  in  His  Word 
He  bids  me  come  and  seek 

The  God  that  Samuel  heard. 
And  every  sin  I  well  may  fear, 
Since  God  Almighty  is  so  near. 

Like  Samuel  let  me  say, 

Whene'er  I  read  His  Word, 
"  Speak,  Lord,  I  would  obey  " 

The  voice  that  Samuel  heard; 
And  when  I  in  Thy  house    ap- 
pear, 
"  Speak,  for  Thv  servant  waits  to 
hear."

I  THINK,  when  I  read  that  sweet  story  of  old, 
When  Jesus  was  here  among  men, 
How  He  called  little  children  as  lambs  to  His  fold, 
I  should  like  to  have  been  with  them  then. 

2  I  wish  that  His  hands  had  been  placed  on  my  head, 

That  His  arm  had  been  thrown  around  me, 
And  that  I  might  have  seen  His  kind  look  when  He  said, 
"  Let  the  little  ones  come  unto  Me." 

3  Yet  still  to  His  footstool  in  prayer  I  may  go, 

And  ask  for  a  share  in  His  love; 
And  if  I  thus  earnestly  seek  Him  below, 
I  shall  see  Him  and  hear  Him  above; 

4  In  that  beautiful  place  He  has  gone  to  prepare 

For  all  who  are  washed  and  forgiven ; 
250 


FAITH    AND    LIFE. 

Full  many  dear  children  are  gathering  there, 
"  For  of  such  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven." 

5  But  thousands  and  thousands  who  wander  and  fall, 
Never  heard  of  that  heavenly  home : 
I  wish  they  could  know  there  is  room  for  them  all, 
And  that  Jesus  has  bid  them  to  come. 


6  And  O,  how  I  long  for  that  glorious  time, 
The  sweetest  and  brightest  and  best, 
When  the  dear  little  children  of  every  clime, 
Shall  crowd  to  His  arms  and  be  blest.

COME,  let  us  sing  of  Jesus, 
While  hearts  &  accents  blend; 
Come,  let  us  sing  of  Jesus, 
The  sinner's  only  friend  ; 
His  holy  soul  rejoices 

Amid  the  choirs  above, 
To  hear  our  youthful  voices 
Exulting  in  His  love. 

2  We  love  to  sing  of  Jesus, 

Who  wept  our  path  along; 
We  love  to  sing  of  Jesus, 

The  tempted  and  the  strong ; 
None  who  besought  His  healing, 

lie  passed  unheeded  by; 
And  still  retains  His  feeling 

For  us  above  the  sky. 


3  We  love  to  sing  of  Jesus, 

Who  died  our  souls  to  save; 
We  love  to  sing  of  Jesus, 

Triumphant  o'er  the  grave; 
And  in  our  hour  of  danger, 

We  '11  trust  His  love  alone, 
Who  once  slept  in  a  manger, 

And  now  sits  on  a  throne. 

4  Then  let  us  sing  of  Jesus, 

While  yet  on  earth  we  stay, 
And  hope  to  sing  of  Jesus 

Throughout  eternal  day. 
For  those  who  here  confess  Him, 

He  will  in  heaven  confess, 
And  faithful  hearts  that  bless  Him, 

He  will  for  ever  bless.

CHKISTTAN  children  must  be  holy, 
Serving  God  from  day  to  day  ; 
Never  is  the  time  too  early 
For  a  Christian  to  obey. 

2  Jesus  taught  us  in  His  childhood ; 

Only  eight  short  days  He  saw, 
Ere  He  suffered  circumcision, 
And  obeyed  His  Father's  law. 

3  He  who  is  our  great  Example, 

Let  no  moment  run  to  loss ; 
Not  one  precious  hour  He  wasted, 
From  the  cradle  to  the  cross. 


4  Soon  He  sorrowed,  soon  He  suffered, 

We  must  meek  and  gentle  be ; 
Little  pain  and  little  trial, 
Ever  bearing  patiently. 

5  Soon  He  showed  a  Son's  obedience : 

We  must  early  learn  to  do 
Not  our  own  will,  but  our  Father's, 
And  be  found  obedient  too.

As  ye  journey,  sweetly  sing; 
Sing  your  Saviour's  worthy  praise, 
Glorious  in  His  works  and  ways. 

2  We  are  travelling  home  to  God, 
In  the  way  the  fathers  trod ; 
They  are  happy  now,  and  we 
Soon  their  happiness  shall  see. 

3  O  ye  banished  seed,  be  glad ! 
Christ  our  advocate  is  made ; 
Us  to  save,  our  flesh  assumes ; 
Brother  to  our  souls  becomes. 

4  Sing,  ye  little  flock  and  blest : 
You  on  Jesus'  soul  shall  rest : 
There  your  seat  is  now  prepared, 
There  your  kingdom  and  reward. 

5  Fear  not,  brethren,  joyful  stand 
On  the  borders  of  your  land ; 
Jesus  Christ,  your  Father's  Son, 
Bids  you  undismayed  go  on.

Want  and  hunger  never  know ; 
Soft  green  pastures  He  discloseth, 
Where  His  happy  fioek  reposeth ; 
When  I  faint  or  thirsty  be, 
To  the  brook  He  leadeth  me. 

Should  not  I  be  glad  and  gay? 
In  this  blessed  fold  all  day ; 
By  this  Holy  Shepherd  tended, 
Whose  kind  arms,  when  life  is  ended, 
Bear  me  to  the  world  of  light? 
Yes  !  oh  yes,  my  lot  is  bright,

THE  Lord  my  pasture  shall  prepare, 
And  feed  me  with  a  shepherd's  care ; 
His  presence  shall  my  wants  supply, 
And  guard  me  with  a  watchful  eye  : 
My  noonday  walks  He  shall  attend, 
And  all  my  midnight  hours  defend. 

2  When  in  the  sultry  glebe  I  faint, 
Or  in  the  thirsty  mountains  pant, 
To  fertile  vales  and  dewy  meads 
My  weary,  wandering  steps  He  leads, 
Where  peaceful  rivers,  soft  and  slow, 
Amid  the  verdant  landscape  flow. 

8  Though  in  a  bare  and  rugged  way, 
Through  devious,  lonely  wilds  I  stray, 
His  bounty  shall  my  pains  beguile; 
The  barren  wilderness  shall  smile, 
With  lively  green  and  herbage  crowned, 
And  streams  shall  murmur  all  around. 

4  Though  in  the  paths  of  death  I  tread, 
With  gloomy  horrors  overspread, 
My  steadfast  heart  shall  fear  no  ill, 
For  thou,  0  Lord  !  art  with  me  still ; 
Thy  friendly  crook  shall  give  me  aid, 
And  guide  me  through  the  dismal  shade.

JESUS,  I  my  cross  have  taken, 
All  to  leave  and  follow  Thee; 
Destitute,  despised,  forsaken, 

Thou,  from  hence,  my  All  shalt  be. 
Perish  every  fond  ambition, 

All  I've  sought,  or  hoped,  or  known; 
Yet  how  rich  is  my  condition ! 

God  and  heaven  are  still  my  own. 
Man  may  trouble  and  distress  me, 

T  will  but  drive  me  to  Thy  breast; 
Life  with  trials  hard  may  press  me, 

Heaven  will  bring  me  sweeter  rest. 
O,  7t  is  not  in  grief  to  harm  me, 

While  Thy  Love  is  left  to  me ; 
Q,  'twere  not  in  joy  to  charm  me, 

Were  that  joy  unmixed  with  Thee.

FAITH    AND    LIFE. 


3  Take,  my  soul,  thy  full  salvation ; 

Rise  o'er  sin,  and  fear,  and  care; 
Joy  to  find  in  every  station 

Something  still  to  do  or  bear. 
Think  what  Spirit  dwells  within  thee; 

What  a  Father's  smile  is  thine ; 
What  a  Saviour  died  to  win  thee: 

Child  of  heaven,  shouldst  thou  repine? 

4  Haste  thee  on  from  grace  to  glory, 

Armed  by  faith  and  winged  by  prayer; 
Heaven's  eternal  day 's  before  thee, 

God's  own  hand  shall  guide  thee  there. 
Soon  shall  close  thy  earthly  mission, 

Swift  shall  pass  thy  pilgrim  days ; 
Hope  shall  change  to  glad  fruition, 

Faith  to  sight,  and  prayer  to  praise.

DO  no  sinful  action, 
Speak  no  angry  word, 
We  belong  to  Jesus, 
Children  of  the  Lord. 

2  Christ  is  kind  and  gentle, 

Christ  is  pure  and  true, 
And  His  own  dear  children 
Must  be  holy  too. 

3  There's  a  w?icked  spirit 

Watching  round  us  still, 
And  he  tries  to  tempt  us 
To  all  harm  and  ill. 

4  But  we  must  not  hear  him, 

Nor  his  bidding  do, 
But  resist  the  evil 
And  the  good  pursue. 


5  For  we  promised  truly 

In  our  infant  days, 
To  renounce  him  wholly 
And  forsake  his  ways. 

6  We  are  new-born  Christians, 

We  must  learn  to  fight 
With  the  bad  within  us, 
And  to  do  the  right. 

7  Christ  is  our  own  Master, 

He  is  good  and  true, 
And  His  little  children 
Must  be  holy  too. 

8  Glory  to  the  Father, 

Glory  to  the  Son, 
Glory  to  the  Spirit, 
While  the  ages  run.

Above  our  utmost  need, 
Incline  Thine  ear  unto  our  cry, 
And  hear  the  orphan  plead. 

2  Bereft  of  all  a  mother's  love 

And  all  a  father's  care,

To  whom  direct  our  prayer? 

3  To  Thee  we  flee,  to  Thee  we  pray, 

Thou  shalt  our  Father  be : 
More  than  the  fondest  parent's  care 
We  find,  O  Lord,  in  Thee !

And  wiped  away  our  tears: 
Thy  mercy  has  a  refuge  found 
To  guard  our  helpless  years.

SAVIOUR,  blessed  Saviour, 
Listen  while  we  sing, 
Hearts  and  voices  raising 

Praises  to  our  King. 
All  we  have  to  offer, 
All  we  hope  to  be, 
Body,  soul,  and  spirit, 
All  we  yield  to  Thee. 

2  Nearer,  ever  nearer, 

Christ,  we  draw  to  Thee, 
Deep  in  adoration, 

Bending  low  the  knee; 
Thou  for  our  redemption 

( 'am'st  on  earth  to  die ; 
Thou,  that  we  might  follow, 

J  last  gone  up  on  high. 

3  Great  and  ever  greater 

Arc  Thy  mercies  here, 

True  and  everlasting 
Arc  the  glories  there, 

Where  no  pain  or  sorrow, 
Toil  or  care  is  known, 

Where  the  angel  legions 
Circle  round  the  throne. 


4  Brighter  still  and  brighter 

Glows  the  western  sun, 
Shedding  all  its  gladness 

O'er  our  work  that 's  done ; 
Time  will  soon  be  over, 

Toil  and  sorrows  past, 
May  we,  blessed  Saviour, 

Find  a  rest  at  last. 

5  Onward,  ever  onward, 

Journeying  o'er  the  road 
Worn  by  saints  before  us, 

Journeying  on  to  God; 
Leaving  all  behind  us, 

May  we  hasten  on, 
Backward  never  looking 

Till  the  prize  is  won. 

6  Bliss,  all  bliss  excelling, 

When  the  ransomed  soul 
Earthly  toils  forgetting 

Finds  its  promised  goal; 
Where  the  joys  unheard  of 

Saints  with  angels  sing, 
Never  weary  raising 

Praises  to  their  King.

And  seal  in  silence  mortal  tongues ;

And  hail  the  sweet  joys  which  this  day  brings  along; 
We'll  join  our  glad  voices  in  one  hymn  of  praise 
To  God,  Who  has  kept  us  and  lengthened  our  days.

Some  loved  one  among  us  in  death  shall  repose, 
Grant,  Lord,  that  the  spirit  in  heaven  may  dwell, 
In  the  bosom  of  Jesus,  where  all  shall  be  well.

And  find  a  safe  refuge  in  the  Saviour's  loved  arms.

FREDERICK. 


I  WOULD  not  live  alway  ;  I  ask  not  to  stay 
Where  storm  after  storm  rises  dark  o'er  the  way : 
The  few  lurid  mornings  that  dawn  on  us  here 
Are  enough  for  life's  woes,  full  enough  for  its  cheer, 

2  I  would  not  live  alway,  thus  fettered  by  sin, 
Temptation  without,  and  corruption  within  : 
E'en  the  rapture  of  pardon  is  mingled  with  fears, 
And  the  cup  of  thanksgiving  with  penitent  tears* 

3  I  would  not  live  alway ;  no,  welcome  the  tomb ! 
Since  Jesus  hath  lain  there,  I  dread  not  its  gloom : 
There  sweet  be  my  rest,  till  He  bid  me  arise 

To  hail  Him  in  triumph  descending  the  skies. 

4  Who,  who  would  live  alway,  away  from  his  God? 
Away  from  yon  heaven,  that  blissful  abode, 

Where  the  rivers  of  pleasure  flow  o'er  the  bright  plains 
And  the  noontide  of  glory  eternally  reigns: 

5  Where  the  saints  of  all  ages  in  harmony  meet, 
Their  Saviour  and  brethren  transported  to  greet; 
While  the  songs  of  salvation  unceasingly  roll, 
And  the  smile  of  the  Lord  is  the  feast  of  the  soul !

Guter  ffirt,  Du  hast  gestillt. 

GENTLE  Shepherd,  Thou  hast  stilled 
Now  Thy  little  lamb's  long  weeping : 
Ah  how  peaceful,  pale,  and  mild, 
In  its  narrow  bed  't  is  sleeping ! 
And  no  sigh  of  anguish  sore 
Heaves  that  little  bosom  more. 

In  this  world  of  care  and  pain, 
Lord,  Thou  wouldst  no  longer  leave  it : 

To  the  sunny  heavenly  plain 
Dost  Thou  now  in  joy  receive  it. 

Clothed  in  robes  of  spotless  white, 

Now  it  dwells  with  Thee  in  light. 


Ah,  Lord  Jesus,  grant  that  we 
Where  it  lives  may  soon  be  living, 

And  the  lovely  pastures  see 
That  its  heavenly  food  are  giving, 

Then  the  gain  of  death  we  '11  prove, 

Though  Thou  take  what  most  we  love.

Far,  far  away, 
Where  saints  in  glory  stand, 

Bright,  bright  as  day. 

Oh,  how  they  sweetly  sing, 

Worthy  is  the  Saviour  King, 

Loud  let  His  praises  ring, 

Praise,  praise  for  aye ! 

2  Come  to  that  happy  land, 
Come,  come  away ; 
Why  will  ve  doubting  stand, 
Why  still  delay?

Oh,  we  shall  happy  be, 
When,  from  sin  and  sorrow  free, 
Lord,  we  shall  live  with  Thee, 
Blest,  blest  for  aye. 

Bright,  in  that  happy  land, 

Beams  every  eye ; 
Kept  by  a  Father's  hand, 

Love  cannot  die. 
Oh,  then,  to  glory  run, 
Be  a  crown  and  kingdom  won, 
And,  bright  above  the  sun, 

We  reign  for  aye.

And  have  washed  their  robes  in  blood, 
Washed  them  in  the  Blood  of  Jesus; 

Tried  they  were,  and  firm  they  stood ;

Sawn  asunder,  slain  with  sword. 
They  have  conquered  death  and  Satan 

By  the  might  of  Christ  the  Lord. 


Now  they  reign  in  heavenly  glory, 
Now  they  walk  in  golden  light, 

Now  they  drink,  as  from  a  river,

PROCESSIONAL    HYMNS. 

The  Sword  of  the  Lord  and  His  Holy  One, 

The  war-cry  is  sounding  afresh, 
O'ercome  in  the  strength  of  the  Lowly  One, 

The  devil,  the  world,  and  the  flesh. 

2  A  dream  in  the  hearing  of  Gideon 

Was  told  in  the  camp  of  the  foe: 
"  A  cake  of  bread  fell  upon  Midian ; 

A  tent  was  destroyed  by  the  blow." 
Our  Gideon  triumphs  in  lowliness, 

The  mighty  One  hidden  in  Bread, 
By  Whom,  in  the  armor  of  holiness, 

His  people  to  conquest  are  led. 

3  The  sword  of  the  Lord  and  of  Gideon, 

Though  this  was  the  cry  round  the  camp, 
Yet  Israel  prevailed  over  Midian, 

By  trumpet,  and  pitcher,  and  lamp. 
Our  trump  is  the  Gospel  victorious; 

Our  pitcher  the  Flesh  of  the  Lord; 
Our  lamp  the  Divinity  glorious, 

Within  His  humanity  stored. 

4  The  trumpet  was  sounded  by  Gideon, 

The  lamps  were  no  longer  concealed, 
The  pitchers,  when  broken,  to  Midian 

The  light  they  had  hidden  revealed. 
The  Gospel  hath  called  us  from  vanity; 

Divinity  shines  in  our  sight; 
The  prints  in  the  riven  Humanity 

Shine  forth  with  ineffable  Light. 

6  The  sword  of  the  Lord  and  of  Gideon, 

The  war-cry  was  home  on  the  air; 
Behold,  in  the  ruin  of  Midian, 

The  triumph  of  faith  and  of  prayer. 
The  Sword  of  the  Lord  and  His  Mighty  One, 

The  Banner  of  God  and  His  Christ, 
Through  prayer  and  through  faith  in  the  Lowly  One, 

Shall  win  for  us  trophies  unpriced.

When  His  word  commanded, 
Did  established  rise.

Of  the  deeps  and  seas, 
Rocks,  and  hills,  and  mountains.

Snow  and  hail,  and  fire 
Stormy  wind,  fulfilling 

Only  His  desire.

ONWABD,  Christian  soldiers, 
Marching  as  to  war, 
With  the  Cross  of  Jesus 

Going  on  before. 
Christ,  the  Royal  Master, 
Leads  against  the  foe : 
Forward  into  battle, 
See  His  banners  go. 

Onward,  Christian  soldiers, 

Marching  as  to  war, 
With  the  Cross  of  Jesus 
Going  on  before. 

2  At  the  sign  of  triumph, 

Satan's  armies  flee : 
On,  then,  Christian  soldiers, 

On  to  victory. 
Hell's  foundations  quiver, 
At  the  shout  of  praise; 
Brothers,  lift  your  voices, 
Loud  your  anthems  raise. 
Onward,  Christian  soldiers, 

Marching  as  to  war, 
With  the  Cross  of  Jesus 
Going  on  before. 

3  Like  a  mighty  army, 

Moves  the  Church  of  God : 
Brothers,  we  are  treading 

Where  the  Saints  have  trod. 
We  are  not  divided, 
All  one  body  we, 
One  in  hope,  in  doctrine, 
One  in  charity. 

Onward,  Christian  soldiers, 

Marching  as  to  war, 
WTith  the  Cross  of  Jesus 
Going  on  before. 


4  What  the  Saints  established 

That  we  hold  for  true : 
What  the  Saints  believed 

That  believe  we  too. 
Long  as  earth  endureth 

Men  that  Faith  will  hold  — 
Kingdoms,  nations,  empires, 
In  destruction  rolled. 

Onward,  Christian  soldiers, 

Marching  as  to  war, 
With  the  Cross  of  Jesus 
Going  on  before. 

5  Crowns  and  thrones  may  perish, 

Kingdoms  rise  and  wane, 
But  the  Church  of  Jesus 

Constant  will  remain. 
Gates  of  hell  can  never 

'Gainst  that  Church  prevail: 
We  have  Christ's  own  promise, 
And  that  cannot  fail. 

Onward,  Christian  soldiers, 

Marching  as  to  war, 
With  the  Cross  of  Jesus 
Going  on  before. 

6  Onward,  then,  ye  faithful, 

Join  our  happy  throng, 
Blend  with  ours  your  voices, 

In  the  triumph-song: 
Glorv,  laud,  and  honor, 

Unto  Christ  the  King: 
This,  through  countless  ages, 
Men  and  Angels  sing. 

Onward,  Christian  soldiers, 

Marching  as  to  war, 
With  the  Cross  of  Jesus 
Going  on  before.

FORTH  from  Egypt's  house  of  bondage, 
Calls  us  now  the  God  of  love: 
See,  the  cloudy,  fiery  pillar 

Marshals  us  the  way  to  move ! 
God's  right  hand  and  holy  arm 

Smote  the  realm  that  wrought  us  harm; 
Many  a  sign  and  mighty  wonder 
Burst  the  tyrant's  bands  asunder. 

2  When  the  sea  spread  out  before  us, 
And  behind  us  raged  the  foe, 
Walls  of  waves  stood  firm  as  crystal, 

Till  the  ransomed  Tribe  passed  through. 
Pharaoh's  hordes  at  morn  we  found 

In  the  roaring  waters  drowned; 
While  with  timbrel  and  with  dances, 
Our  exulting  host  advances. 
306 


PROCESSIONAL    HYMNS. 

3  From  the  top  of  stony  Sinai, 

God  declares  His  perfect  Law  : 
Trumpet  tones  and  fires  and  thunders 

Thrill  the  soul  with  trembling  awe. 
There  the  thirsting  flock  complain, 

There  the  Rock  is  cleft  in  twain: 
And  wherever  Israel  goeth, 

Lo,  the  Living  Water  flowethl 

4  What  to  us  the  scorns  of  Edom  ? 

What  the  -swords  of  Amalek? 
While  the  prayerful  hands  are  lifted, 

No  defeat  our  course  shall  check. 
Yain  are  Moar/s  lustful  snares  ; 

Vain  are  Balaam's  hireling  prayers;— = 
God's  unchanging  truth  confessing, 

All  his  curses  turn  to  blessing. 

5  There,  enclosed  in  hills  of  beauty. 

Shining  like  a  jewelled  bride, 
Stands  Jerusalem  the  golden, 

All  her  portals  opened  wide. 
There  the  King  upon  His  throne, 

Sees  and  claims  us  for  His  own; 
Clothes  us  with  His  glory  splendid; 

And  our  pilgrimage  is  ended. 

8  Join  we  now  the  angelic  chorus, 
Cherubim  and  Seraphim, 
Saints  in  light  gone  Home  before  us, 

Chanting  their  triumphal  hymn :  — 
Holy,  Holy,  Holy,  Lord, 

Three  in  One  by  all  adored, 
Praise  to  Thy  eternal  merit, 

Father,  Son,  and  Holy  Spirit     Amen,

Jerusalem  the  Golden. 


EWING. 


JERUSALEM  the  golden, 
With  milk  and  honey  blest, 
Beneath  thy  contemplation 

Sink  heart  and  voice  opprest: 
I  know  not,  0  I  know  not, 

What  social  joys  are  there! 
What  radiancy  of  glory, 

What  light  beyond  compare! 

And  when  T  fain  would  sing  them, 

My  spirit  1'nils  and  faints, 
And  vainly  would  it  image 

The  assembly  of  t\u'  saints. 
They  stand,  those  halls  of  Zion, 

Conjubilant  with  song, 
And  bright  with  many  an  angel, 

And  all  the  martyr  throng; 
oU<3 


PROCESSIONAL    HYMNS. 

3  There  is  the  Throne  of  David; 

And  there,  from  care  released, 
The  song  of  them  that  triumph, 

The  shout  of  them  that  feast; 
And  they  who,  with  their  Leader, 

Have  conquered  in  the  fight, 
For  ever  and  for  ever 

Are  clad  in  robes  of  white !
